Under the guidance and expertise of acclaimed textile designer, Sarah Campbell, have fun designing and painting directly onto fabric; make a pattern for yourself, or your home in this colourful, playful workshop. Using calico and organic cotton, students will leave with samplers of techniques for reference or for their own home sewing projects, as well as having the opportunity to paint a ready-made accessory of their choice – such as a bag, a cushion, a tea-towel or a wall-hanging.
No previous artistic experience necessary - Sarah specialises in joyous, abstract painting so don’t worry if you consider yourself “not arty” – this workshop is all about experimentation with colour and pattern and you’ve got an expert to guide you! And there's room for painting something flowery if you feel like it.
Leave the workshop armed with the knowledge of how to use different fabric painting techniques, how to use heat-settable fabric paints and how to wash and look after your pieces.
All equipment provided, but please bring an apron and a packed lunch
