Following our very successful Summer Sewcialising workshops we are running a second set of workshops in November. The workshops will explore the re-making of clothes through redesigning, repairing and mending. Textile Artist Dee Harte will guide the participants through an exciting range of techniques, from the embroidery technique of Sashiko, which can be used to repair and embellish denim, to traditional wool darning. We also plan to explore the basic dying techniques and patterns used in the Japanese art of Shibori, old clothes will be given some TLC, redesigned and repurposed into new items of clothing.
If you are interested email opencirclearts@gmail.com or phone Sheila on 087 1355318 to book a place. Here are some of the photographs from the summer workshops.
