Embroidery with Sam Eldridge
Description
Dreams do come true, it seems...
Here, at The Windsor Workshop, we have many art and craft heroes. Consider it to be similar to worshipping your favourite sporting team or musician or actor (and if you're younger than us, TikTok'er or YouTube'er lol). If you follow us, I am SURE we share craft champions. This is a pinch me moment. A moment we never thought would happen. But if there is one thing Bree and I have learnt over the years, it is ‘if you don’t ask, you don’t get’. So, we asked!
Enter one of our BIGGEST craft and embroidery heroes - Sam Eldridge. Yes, you read that correctly - S.A.M E.L.D.R.I.D.G.E. From Vancouver. Canada.
Sam will be doing TWO workshops with us on February 19th and sharing her embroidery art of ’thread painting'. This is a once in a lifetime experience and we suggest you get in QUICKLY. There are limited spots and once they go, they go…
*Each participant will need to bring a linen or thin denim piece of clothing. Please note - thin cotton is much easier to rip when working and doesn’t hold up well to larger designs. If you are thinking of using a cotton piece, a sweatshirt type material would be better than a thin t-shirt. Give us a shout if you have any questions regarding your fabric.
What you will learn
- how to choose a design and colours (for your future projects, since design options are provided for this workshop)
- methods for transferring a design to fabric
- thread painting a flower and leaves
What you will get
- - the chance to meet your embroidery super hero in the bloody flesh
- -a choice of 3 designs to embroider -supplies to apply a design to the garment (transfer paper, fabric pens, or stick and stitch paper) -embroidery hoop, a needle, and thread for the project
- -of course we will be supplying the lol’s, snacks and a drink or two
What to bring
- Please bring bucket loads of enthusiasm - you will be unleashing your unfounded creativity.
