2023 STUDIOcc workshop 1 - February 25th & 26th
Sculptural Embroidery + Shadow Mounting Workshop with Meredith Woolnough
This technique-based workshop explores the unique embroidery processes that Meredith uses to create her artworks. By stitching onto a combination of woven and water-soluble fabrics we will create a range of experimental embroidered artworks. Participants can expect to create a range of experimental stitched surfaces and sculptural forms in this workshop. We will also explore Meredith’s signature shadow mounting technique so your embroidered creations can be presented in a professional manner, ready for framing. No experience is necessary but basic sewing machine operation skills will be helpful.
