Come along to this weekend retreat workshop held on beautiful Macleay Island with renowned artist, author and tutor Jennifer Clouston.
You will create a stunning textile art piece using techniques like textile collage and embroidery stitching. Learn how to select a beautiful colour scheme and an aesthetic design based on natural foliage.
Jennifer has a modern approach to traditional embroidery and she will teach you a great variety of new stitching techniques that you can use with ribbons, threads and textiles as well as beads and sequins.
With years of experience, Jennifer is well-known for designing new and original stitches by taking traditional embroidery and giving it a modern twist. She will teach you a freehand approach to stitching.
Your weekend workshop will be hosted by Colour Stream's Studio on Macleay Island. Colour Streams will also provide you with all of the beautiful hand-dyed textiles, ribbons and threads that you will use in creating your textile art.
Jennifer's workshop is suitable for all skill levels and you can expect to be inspired by her expertise and ideas and learn with people who share a creative flare and are open to learning new crafts.
