We
will be making buttons and beads and textured motifs, creating patchwork,
making lace and generally exploring some of the very many possibilities
Friendly Plastic has to offer textile folk.
You will learn some of the techniques that are my own discoveries,
including Oooze! And lacework. This is a
day of sampling ideas, you will go home with lots of techniques under your
belt, ready for you to develop to suit your own creative directions. Whether they are in textiles, jewellery or
papercrafting, Friendly Plastic will go where you want it to, and mix really
happily with much of your existing crafting stash.
You
need to know that there is a cost involved in that you will need some Friendly
Plastic. I have plenty for you to buy n
the day [at a very good price!], you will probably need about £5-£6 worth
approximately, but beware, you may get the bug and want more! Of course you can share your purchasing with
a friend to make your colour choices go further and reduce the overall cost to
you. I will bring my mobile shop with
lots of useful things you might be interested in. I look forward to meeting you
on the day. Please note I cannot take
cards, but will take cheques and cash.
