Sculptural Embroidery & Shadow Mounting
TUTOR: MEREDITH WOOLNOUGH
This technique-based workshop explores the unique embroidery processes that Meredith uses to create her artworks. By stitching onto a combination of woven and water-soluble fabrics we will create a range of experimental embroidered artworks.
Students can expect to create a range of experimental stitched surfaces and sculptural forms in this workshop. We will also explore Meredith’s signature shadow mounting technique so your embroidered creations can be presented in a professional manner, ready for framing.
Skill level: Suited to all levels. No experience is necessary but basic sewing machine operation skills will be helpful.
