About

Celebrate the beauty and freshness of spring in this inspiring two-day textile art workshop with artist Sonya Else. Combining fabric, stitching, texture and colour, you'll create your own beautiful floral textile artwork, Spring in a Vase, capturing the charm and movement of a garden in full bloom.
Discover how to transform fabric and thread into a richly textured composition, bringing flowers and foliage to life through creative layering, expressive stitching and the clever use of colour. With a particular focus on creating three-dimensional visual effects, Sonya will guide you through techniques that give your artwork a wonderful sense of depth, form and movement.
Throughout the workshop, you'll explore:
Thread painting: Using free-machine stitching to build colour, detail and texture, creating beautiful painterly effects with thread.
Textured fabric surfaces: Experimenting with fabric manipulation and layering to create tactile surfaces that add richness and dimension to your artwork.
Colour with Derwent Inktense pencils: Discovering how to enhance your fabric and stitching with colour, adding subtle shading, highlights and vibrant details.
Creating three-dimensional effects: Exploring the interplay of colour, texture, light and shadow to give flowers, foliage and the vase a convincing sense of depth and form.
Under Sonya's guidance, you'll bring these techniques together to create a unique textile artwork filled with the colours, textures and delicate details of spring.
This workshop offers a wonderful opportunity to explore the creative possibilities of textile art, develop your skills and enjoy the process of bringing a floral composition to life through fabric and stitch.
Important preparation: Some preparation will be required before attending the workshop to ensure participants can progress towards completing their artwork over the two days. Full preparation instructions are provided on the website.
