Stitched Drawings with Sheila Walker - stitch club Saturday 19th May 2018

Bailgate stitch club and YE will both be on Skellingthorpe Rd as usual. Any further details from Sheila
she.walker@hotmail.co.uk

A very quick fire, spontaneous and fun workshop, this requires no particular drawing or painting skills, just a “willing to have a go” attitude. In response to your own inspiration, the morning will be spent creating a collage background which will be drawn and painted on to, then the afternoon will be spent relaxing with needle and thread.


Requirements
  • A selection of papers eg. brown, handmade, cartridge, tissue, old book page, music, patterns, graph paper
  • A selection of neutrals eg. calico, cotton organdie. Scraps of something with a previous life -table linen, handkerchief, scarf. Or scraps left from a previous project.
  •  Inspiration - A selection of your own photos, sketches, and objects which relate to your chosen subject.
  • Small pot white emulsion or gesso. (Other light colours will do)
  • Drawing equipment - a range of pencils and coloured pencils, eraser, ruler, sharpener
  •  PVA glue
  •  Scissors
  • Acrylic paint - a few colours relating to your images. Water pot, small palette, an old credit card or similar
  • Small set of water colours, bottle of ink and brushes
  • Small selection of threads relating to colours from your design source. And basic sewing kit.
  • Plastic to cover table and an apron may be useful.
Please don’t worry about bringing everything as Sheila will bring some supplies.
