We are very excited to welcome Paula Watkins as a guest tutor at the studio!
 
On this one day off workshop, we will be learning how to use hand cut stencils on painted calico. We will use acrylic paint to create a background before adding hand embroidery and drawings.
 
We will be using hand carved Indian wood blocks to print birds which will be hand embroidered with silk thread and embellished with exquiste sequins. Simple stitches made with gorgeous materials with make our birds into creatures of beauty!
