During this afternoon workshop you will have the opportunity to work with water soluble fabric, to make 3 dimensional embroidery using free motion embroidery technique and an embellisher.
Tutor Wendy Greaves will guide you demonstrate and support you to make either a single flower or a collection of petals to then bring together into a final form.
Tutor: Wendy Greaves has spent 31 years immersed in fine art textiles as an artist and educator. She achieved a BA (hons) in Constructed textiles, PGCE, and is a Member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen. Throughout her career, Wendy has balanced teaching with practice, firmly believing that an art educator must also experience the vulnerability and excitement of making. In 2022, Wendy reached a turning point in her creative journey – broadening her artistic horizons and pushing the boundaries of her practice.
Rooted in the dramatic and fragile landscapes of North Devon, Wendy’s work explores their textures, moods, and quiet rhythms through the language of cloth and stitch. She works with recycled, found, and locally sourced materials, selecting fabrics for their honesty, texture, and connection to place.
