Workshop 2 in Adelaide

My second workshop was titled Fabrik-Fun and it was the first time I have taught this as a stand alone so I was a little anxious and it was also a big class in a not quite so perfect classroom. But they were wonderful and told me they enjoyed it all.


We did some dry felt my style before stitching - it is all supposed to be relaxing.


Some lovely velvet being stitched in. You can't go past beautiful hand dyed silk/rayon velvet.


Some great weaving coming up - have I ever said I love weaving and stitching ?


Another delightful piece


This one is so ethereal - love it



Another work underway


And the leaves around the school were such glorious colours


Catherine had a great time here - weaving and making sari ribbon flowers


Then we got to some other sorts of weaving



Lovely layers and embossed velvet and stitch


Weaving more


And more stitch


And more weaving


And some more weaving - wonderful colours




Wonderful colour move


Annette was working away on her tiny corner creating some great stuff


Weaving


And starting to to stitch and place



And Julia had fun with my special velvet and prefelt technique


Some weaving


Stitching


More weaving - these people used colour and texture so well


Underway




Colour just lovely


And my little effort - embossing on velvet ribbon and weaving and stitching - still to finish

As you can see, there was loads of lovely work produced and I hope they keep on with them. I am still unpacking my suitcase with my samples and supplies!
