A multi skill two day course!
If you love fabric, printed patterns and texture this comprehensive two day course is your ticket to creating the textile heaven you’ve dreamt about.
I’m bringing together three of my passions which stem from years of experience as well as childhood traditions from my home in Poland. Traditional paper cutting and Polish folk patterns, fabric printing and embroidery.
Cut-Print-Stitch combines those three creative skills which produce the most exquisite (and easy) results on fabric.
CUT (day 1)
We’ll be cutting patterns based off traditional Polish designs supplied by me. We will use both regular paper for traditional symmetrical paper pattern as well as special film which can be washed and reused multiple times for future fabric printing.
PRINT (day 1)
These cut out stencils will then be placed onto your linen and we will be applying fabric paint to transfer the design onto the fabric. Your designs will be placed in various positions on your fabric and you will be able to create fast and beautiful patterns in a variety of colours on your linen. The designs will then be allowed to dry and the fabric paint will be fixed with an iron.
STITCH (day 2)
Finally the design is given its magical touch by embellishing it with a variety of embroidery stitches which I will guide you through on the second day.
You will leave with a beautiful piece of printed and stitched linen for which I will also give examples and ideas of what you can turn it into. The creative textile world will be your oyster after this two day deeply immersive workshop. Easily print large pieces of fabric to turn into skirts or dresses. Print and use simple and quick stitches on your table cloths or cushions. Create contemporary folk art wall hangings for your home that will become the talking point. You will be given resources and guidance after the course to enable you to continue your new skills at home.
