SUMMARY:Karen Lane - My F-Plan Diet...Fabric\, Fibre & Felting (Zoom Meeting: On-line only)
DESCRIPTION:An illustrated journey from first discovering in 2014 that feltmaking and textile art were an actual ‘thing’\, through to the present day. Viewers will see lots of examples of Karen’s work and she will share many of the materials and techniques that her use.   \n\n\n\nKaren’s background is in Visual Merchandising/Display and Adult Training. Whilst running local craft workshops for adults with special needs in 2014 she discovered felt making and textile art. These two disciplines went on to develop side by side. Karen joined three local textile groups and began experimenting with fabric and stitch. That same year she saw the fabulous exhibition Black Sheep: The Darker Side of Felt which set her on a mission to learn all she could about Feltmaking. \n\n\n\nAs a result of her work touring with Grosvenor Shows she began to receive requests for workshops and in 2016 began teaching Textile Art & Feltmaking for groups and individuals. In 2019 Karen was invited to teach at the Quilters Guild AGM and that same year was a guest tutor at Sweet Nothings Retreat in Saint-Vallier. \n\n\n\nWith the worst of the pandemic over (fingers tightly crossed!) she will be returning to Sweet Nothings in September 2022. Previous exhibitions include the NEC\, Manchester\, Harrogate\, Oundle\, Corby Glen\, Lincoln and Karen is a regular at The Big Textile Show in Leicester.

SUMMARY:Jennifer Thompson & Lynne Harper from the Spinning & Weaving Guild
DESCRIPTION:Jenn and Lynne have been friends for over 40 years\, both with an interest in many crafts. Jennifer’s love of craft started with knitting at a very young age\, and when older she worked through City and Guilds\, and also has a HNC in Stitched textiles.  Lynne’s interest has developed with less formal training\, starting at around 8 with a love of embroidery\, but with an early interest in weaving which did not develop far until much later. In some areas\, for example Bobbin Lace and Tatting\, they have extended their skills together. This was the case when eight years ago they started to learn to spin\, and soon after to weave. \n\n\n\nSince then they have become enthusiastic exponents of both skills. They are active members of the Kennet Valley Guild of Weavers\, Spinners and Dyers\, and take part in demonstrations to the public during various shows\, and also take part in the bi-annual KVGWSD exhibition. \n\n\n\nThe results of their spinning and weaving can be seen to link back to their earlier interests in textile crafts\, and include a wide range of techniques.

SUMMARY:Kirstie McLeod - The Red Dress Project
DESCRIPTION:The Red Dress Project is an award winning global collaborative embroidery project centred around a red silk dress. It is a platform for women’s voices to be shared and heard\, uniting people from around the world without borders and boundaries.  \n\n\n\nOver 12 years (2009 to 2021)\, pieces of the Red Dress have travelled the globe being continuously embroidered on. Constructed out of 73 pieces of burgundy silk dupion\, the garment has been worked on by 239 women and 5 men from 28 countries\, with all 136 commissioned artisans paid for their work. The rest of the embroidery was added by 108 willing participants/audience at various groups/exhibitions/events. Many of the artisans are established embroiderers\, but there are also many pieces created by first time embroiderers.  \n\n\n\nThe artisans were encouraged to tell a personal story they would like to share\, expressing their own identities and adding their own cultural and traditional experience. \n\n\n\nKirstie has worked as a Textile artist for 16 years\, and on the Red Dress for the last 12. What began as a sketch on the back of a napkin in 2009\, has grown into a global collaborative project involving hundreds of people all over the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note that this will be a ticket only event\, with all members of Textiles and Stitch Around Marlborough being automatically allocated a ticket.

SUMMARY:Wendy Lloyd - Collagraph Printing on Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to make Collagraph Plates to achieve a wide range of effects and print onto fabric and papers suitable for embellishment with stitch using simple equipment. Go home with your plates\, lots of printed pieces and handouts for reference. Wendy will bring many stitched examples. \n\n\n\nWendy Lloyd is a textile artist\, printmaker and teacher living and working in West Berkshire. \n\n\n\nShe absorbed textile skills by osmosis from her mother – a textile artist who taught embroidery and helped to write the original City and Guilds patchwork and quilt-making course. \n\n\n\nShe joined the Dubai Quilters’ Guild as an expat and then moved from free machine quilting to machine embroidery and a City and Guilds course on her return to the UK. There she discovered fabric printing and subsequently moved sideways into printmaking on paper working with the Rabley Artist Printmakers (just outside Marlborough). \n\n\n\nShe enjoys stretching the boundaries of what print and textiles mean\, combining techniques and trying to remain playful within the technical constraints that different processes impose.

SUMMARY:Box Bags\, Baskets and Pods
DESCRIPTION:A Double Workshop with Tase and Amanda \n\n\n\nJoin us for a day of sewing and make some useful and lovely things to take home with you in these two workshops. Each workshop is approximately 2 hours long and will run side by side\, so you can enjoy one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. \n\n\n\nYou’ll need your machine and a basic sewing kit; choose to bring your own fabrics or kits can be provided at a nominal cost. Remember to bring your lunch! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBox Bag making with Amanda\n\n\n\n\n\nOrigami Baskets and Storage Pods with Tase\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese ‘pert’ little box bags make fabulous gifts and can be made from left over pieces of upholstery fabric.  Amanda will guide you through the making of a bag and show other variations on the basic idea.  You can buy a pack of the fabrics and zip or bring your own materials.  Cost of a pack of materials for this workshop\, if you want them\, will be £3 plus the cost of the 8” zip. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nMake these origami boxes and storage pods in no time at all! Useful in the sewing room as catchers (instead of putting things on the side and then wondering where you’ve put them…!) or around the house for those bits and bobs that are always lying around\, they make nice gifts too! A quick make\, in the two-hour session you should make at least one origami box and one pod. \n\n\n\nBoth the boxes and pods can be made from fat quarters\, and you’ll need some batting scraps as well. Tase will bring fabrics and batting if you need them\, price depending on size and style

SUMMARY:Karen Lane - My F-Plan Diet...Fabric\, Fibre & Felting
DESCRIPTION:An illustrated journey from first discovering in 2014 that feltmaking and textile art were an actual ‘thing’\, through to the present day. Viewers will see lots of examples of her work and her will share many of the materials and techniques that her use. \n\n\n\nKaren’s background is in Visual Merchandising/Display and Adult Training. Whilst running local craft workshops for adults with special needs in 2014\, she discovered felt making and textile art and went on to develop these two disciplines side by side.  \n\n\n\nKaren joined three local textile groups and began experimenting with fabric and stitch. That same year she saw the fabulous exhibition Black Sheep: The Darker Side of Felt which set her on a mission to learn all she could about felt making. As a result of her work touring with Grosvenor Shows she began to receive requests for workshops and in 2016 began teaching Textile Art & Felt Making for groups and individuals. In 2019 Karen was invited to teach at the Quilters Guild AGM and that same year was a guest tutor at Sweet Nothings Retreat in Saint-Vallier.  \n\n\n\nWith the worst of the pandemic over (fingers tightly crossed!) her will be returning to Sweet Nothings in September 2022. Previous exhibitions include the NEC\, Manchester\, Harrogate\, Oundle\, Corby Glen\, Lincoln and she is a regular at The Big Textile Show in Leicester.
