Students Work

Lynne kindly bought a finished piece from a previous workshop to show us.



This was a piece of work done at one of Nickie's Textured Surfaces workshops which Lynne has made into a book cover.Beautiful work isn't it.
We are always delighted to see completed pieces so please send us photos and we will post them on our blog

Big Bag Workshop

Lastest workshop from School House Arts.
Margaret has designed this bag and tutored this workshop.
Gathered again at North Fambridge on a not so sunny day this time we were a group of very mixed abilities. Helen (I'm sure she won't mind me saying) is a real beginner and had barely had her machine out of the box.
Margaret had written excellent instructions so those of us that were more experienced could go at our own speed but there was plenty of support for those that needed it as we also had Nickie there acting as gopher and tea lady.

Margaret in charge of her coffeeShirley had chosen a beautiful turquoise fabric for her bag


Nearly there, a race to see who would finish first.



And finally proud owners of their very own big bags.Well done everyone

Textured Landscapes

A select few for this workshop.Made it quite a quiet day but my goodness we got through some work.
Nickie Kimber was our tutor and she introduced us to numerous mixed media techniques that could eventually be used to build up a landscape,bag or indeed a book cover.
So we painted, stitched , dyed, layered and distressed with heat!!

And Yet More

Saturday 19th July

Another opportunity to experience this class which includes techniques not everyone will have even heard of.We can promise you a very busy and rewarding day as you try these new techniques and start work on your own Celtic tree.
