SUMMER SCHOOL 23rd July-28th July 2012
	'Pictorial Machine Embroidery' with Linda Miller.

Wednesday 25th to Saturday 28th Come along with your sewing machine and join me and a group of like minded stitchers and spend time making your very own picture in stitches. Bring along a drawing, picture or a photograph that inspires you. Using a sumptuous array of threads in a variety of colours and thickness and working with your own sewing machine, you will learn how to translate your original design into your very own picture of stitches. Students will be guided through all aspects of creating a design, placing imagery, incorporating a background and a foreground into their design, and how to finish and present their work to its full and deserved potential The workshop is suitable for the novice or the more confident stitcher who wants to explore the numerous techniques and textures created by threads and stitch. There will be a materials cost to students of £5 - £10.
