This two-day workshop is designed to guide you to create a wall hanging which is unique and personal to yourself.

Sally is an experienced painter and textile artist who enjoys passing on her knowledge to others. Using a base of a woollen blanket or other large piece of fabric (eg linen, curtain or coffee sack), and various techniques such as stitching, needle felting, collage and applique, incorporating recycled and repurposed textiles and fibres.

Sally will show you various ways of including text and symbols in an abstract way. There will be a component of design on paper necessary before getting stitching. It may be helpful to already have an idea of what you’d like to create as this will assist with the design phase.

Materials to bring:

Sketch book or paper and pencils/pens.

• Fabric scissors
• Favourite fabric pieces; old linens, doilies, old clothing etc
• Large background fabric such as an old blanket, curtains, sheet etc
• $10 to cover materials and an extra $5 for a wool blanket (if used)

Sally has a large stash of fabrics and wool, embroidery floss which you can also use.
