Print & Book Making Workshop @36 Lime Street with Theresa Easton

Saturday’s Workshop in Print & Bookmaking @36 Lime Street with Theresa Easton started off with a sunny studio, tea and coffee.  Participants dived into the printmaking materials, creating a wide range of printed pages for 3 different book designs.  The day  flew by and by the afternoon the work table was covered in stitched and folded books.  There was still enough time, just before the end, to see what everyone had made and incorporated into their unique books. The ‘rummage box’ offered some inspiring Japanese Kite Designs donated by Kay Henderson many moons ago.  The next Print & Bookmaking workshop is an evening workshop taking place Tuesday June 25th &  July 2nd 6.30pm-9pm.

Textile Hub member, Jane Frazer: Experimental Knitting @ The Shipley

‘A great course for knitters who collect things: pebbles or sticks from the beach, shells, post cards, stamps, bus tickets, and other small memorabilia’.

In October I am running an experimental knitting course at The Shipley Art Gallery, Gateshead,  inspired by the Susie Freeman Jacket in their collection, which will be on display in theexhibition –Collected Threads: Textiles from the Shipley Craft Collection.

If you have objects hidden away in drawers and boxes which are rarely seen and would you like to view these precious items more often but don’t know where to put them? Or if you are passionate about something and would like to express your views in a piece of knitted wall art encapsulating photographs, press cuttings, or even your own drawings ? This is the course for you!

You will be able to make a personal or social statement by incorporating your found or collected objects in a unique knitted window, wall hanging or small sculpture. You will be shown various ways of trapping  the objects in the knitting which will include creating sealed pockets, working with objects with holes in them, and adding your items to a finished piece of knitted work. With the emphasis on design and experimentation you will produce a highly individual and original piece of art.

 

As the course will include knitting with yarns such as fine cottons and linen, and especially wire and monofilament;   an experience of knitting is essential.
