Forthcoming Workshops...

Sycamore Gap

My Sycamore Gap course is returning in 2023 and this time we will be working within vintage "rounds". Join me on this full day course in the cosy and welcoming hall at The Hearth. Create your own unique interpretation of this Northumberland icon. With plenty of materials to inspire, I will guide you through bonding the printed image, laying out and sewing your abstract landscape. All materials are provided and you will also have a choice of vintage textiles to work within, the shape of which really celebrates and exaggerate the famous dip, which tree nestles in.

Refreshments will be served throughout the day and you are welcome to bring lunch or treat yourself to a delicious lunch from the Hearth Cafe.
