New Ways With Kantha Workshop: 17 and 18 May 2012

Want to take your stitching in a new direction? Then sign up for this workshop with the extremely accomplished CAROLYN SULLIVAN

Carolyn, a Life Member of the Guild, author and embroiderer, will guide us through two days of decorative 'kantha' style stitching.
This technique has become a feature of her beautiful quilts, with its roots being found in the traditional stitched cloth from Indian and surrounding sub-continent cultures.



Using leaves as a theme basis, workshop participants will learn the techniques of direct and transfer, printing and stamping. Traditional floral decorative embroidery patterns will be sourced as inspiration for a sampler, and Carolyn will assist students in exploring both traditional and contemporary avenues for their work.

WORKSHOP : MAY 17 & 18 2012
