What you'll do
Learn how to illustrate a fabric book with two simple stitches in this fun Sydney workshop!
In the four hour workshop, you will Illustrate the story of your choice using appliqué, glue and stitches. At the end of the class, you will leave with the start of a beautiful fabric fairytale book to continue working on at home and you will have gained a new appreciation for upcycling.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and experienced alike. For those with little or no experience, you will be using two simple stitches - straight stitch and the beautiful french knot.
These artist books can be used in classrooms, for parents with children as a springboard for storytelling. They make a wonderful gift. This is a mindful, meditative activity that creates a work of art that is lasting and worthwhile.
Materials are provided, however, if you have small scissors and a sketchbook, please bring them along. Paper and pencils provided. (Feel free to bring your own favourite materials.)
This workshop will be lead by Ffranses Ingram, a visual artist/illustrator living in the Inner West.
Terms and conditions:
We work very hard to reach our minimum numbers for every workshop, but sometimes (not very often) we just don't get there. When this happens, we need to cancel. To be fair to our team members and to you, we make this decision around five business days before the event. If we cancel the workshop, we will be in touch to organise a full refund.
Knowledge required
No experience required.
What you'll get
- Four hours of expert tuition
- All materials
- A selection of fabrics to choose from
- The skills to continue on their own
What to bring
Bring your favourite scissors.
Suitable for
This class is a great indoor activity idea for a birthday, hens party, team building activity, bucks party or Christmas party.

Frances Ingram is a visual artist/illustrator living in the Inner West. She has been working in textiles since a child, studied at the School of Wool and Textiles in Adelaide, and has just returned from a two-month residency at the Textile Centre in Iceland where she explored prod rugs using Icelandic materials. Having been brought up in Wales, textiles had to be functional - an idea which she has never really shaken off. She has tried to make her functional items as beautiful and colourful as possible.

Francis was extremely generous with her time & with all her knowledge she shared. It was a lot of fun to create a picture using material & was a really well resourced, relaxing & creative space. Thank you!

Most enjoyable. Small class, lots of encouragement to be loose and creative. Frances Ingram pointed us in the direction of the fable we were working with and let us interpret it without telling us what to do. Highly recommended.
Susan Quinn • Jun 2021
I have just spent the morning with three people of whom one was Ffrances. An excellent teacher and inspiring artist. Through her teaching and encouragement we all were able to produce a beautiful picture. It was such an enjoyable experience.
Amanda Redhill • Apr 2021
Francis was wonderful, very interesting and instructed well. Materials all provided and the workroom was cozy. Would recommend the class to anyone who enjoys craft and having a few hours to play!
Teresa Savage • Apr 2021
Francis was very welcoming, extremely well prepared, knowledgeable and encouraging - everything you want in a teacher. The session was well-planned and the venue was great. It would be great if students had the option of getting together on a regular basis. Thank you
Melinda Lyne • Apr 2021
Frances is a fantastic teacher. Super knowledgeable, passionate and patient, she made sure we all had individual attention when required and provided a welcoming and collaborative environment for us all to connect and exchange ideas. Loved it and am keen for more!

Thoughtful and attentive teacher who shared skills, knowledge and passion for what she does generously with all of us. Talented, patient and creative. A good range of fabric to choose from, and so glad we could take what we needed to complete our project at home. I've been passionate about Reverse Garbage from the 80s and welcome the opportunity to still visit, drop in for a Saturday snack, browse the Bower and participate in a workshop. I'm thrilled to have mastered the French knot!
Carol Maber • Aug 2020
The class today was AMAZING.
Ffranses was such a great teacher.
The class could only be better if it went for longer eg till 3pm.
The materials provided were excellent.
The class was great value for money. Would definitely do again.
Thank you!
