2 days – 19th & 20th September 2026
Quietly Composed
Aimed at those who wish to explore observational starting points and develop personal ideas through cloth and hand stitch.
Enjoy the calming nature of hand stitch whilst absorbing the serendipity of composition, with a pared down palette of neutrals you will explore the techniques of cutwork, darning, applique, layering and inlay using transparent qualities as well as your favourite cloth qualities. You will work towards developing an individual series of work from your own visual language.
We will introduce or revisit the essential formal elements and discuss what we believe is meant when we ‘label’ work such as abstract, semi-representational, figurative, illustrative and primitive.
