This workshop will be based around textiles and how they can share our story, as well as the conversations and connections in our community and beyond. Cloth is our second skin, and it is a powerful base to create art, craft and functional yet beauty-ful objects. We'll work with a combination of different stitches from traditional embroidery, Indian Kanth and Japanese Boro-style work, as well as stitching words / text. Using these techniques you'll start to develop and embrace your own stitch language, which is like your handwriting - unique to you. 

You will use fabric collage, stitching and quilting to construct - stitch, create, sew - a usable textile artwork that you can carry as fabric pouch for your journal, mindful cards, or creative projects. Each fabric bag will be an amazing and unique work of art. 

Materials will include a range of Ellie’s bespoke hand-dyed and hand-printed fabrics and threads, created using natural plant and mineral dyes, as well as vintage materials from her collections.
