Fabric Vase Workshop with Marianne Hargeaves

Print on fabric to create patterns which will then be combined to make a material suitable for making into a fabric vase. The material will be embellished with embroidered stitches to create a decorative object. This can be as detailed or abstract as you desire.

Incorporating basic printing, patchwork, and surface stitchery with colours of your choice – the limit is your imagination!

Printing blocks and paints will be provided. This is a fun class that shows how easy it is to create wonderful effects and will inspire you to do more yourself!
