Discover the expressive power of textiles in this hands-on workshop led by local artist Jen Hamilton.
Inspired by Amanda McCavour’s Double Shadow, this thoughtfully designed session invites participants to explore the intersection of drawing and fibre art through contemporary techniques grounded in traditional craft. Guided by Jen’s expertise and creative approach, you’ll experiment with four distinct methods that blend hand sketching, embroidery, and machine sewing to create striking, dimensional textile drawings. From translating line drawings into thread-based compositions to layering textures and forms, this workshop offers an engaging introduction to the possibilities of working with fabric and stitch as artistic media.
Perfect for beginners and experienced creatives alike, this experience emphasizes exploration, play, and skill-building in a welcoming studio environment. Registration is required, all materials provided.
