This workshop concentrates on story-telling and creating a simple narrative through stitch, collage and appliqué. You will be using the needle both as your drawing tool and to secure found objects in place. Jessie will show each participant individually and as a group how to construct a simple 3-dimensional object from rags and found fabrics.
During the workshop you will explore your own narrative/starting points, finding ways to allow your story to unravel into the materials and object you create, this may be a wearable piece such as a brooch or equally a piece for the Wall at home.
“I was so fascinated by how we all started with a simple little fabric scrap that Jessie provided us with, and then we all went home at the end of this workshop with something so unique to each of us” Libby Soil London 2012
Jessie studied textiles at Goldsmith College University, London
