Wild Women Textile Arts Group

A fantastic turnout for our second community workshop for the year - Crazy Cords - which was lead by Pat and Eileen. Colourful and funky yarns, twisting, braiding, wrapping, beads and bling - and in what seemed no time at all there was a fabulous array of cords on display. A huge thank you to everyone who joined in, and to Pat & Eileen for their expert guidance while making it all such fun!

On the weekend we were very excited to host the delightful Caroline Sharkey for her two day Freedom with Nature-Scapes workshop - and boy did she deliver!  We covered a lot of ground over the two days and it was a large group.  Despite this Caroline still had time to work with each of us to show a technique, or guide us through composition and palette.  There was a great atmosphere of camaraderie and encouragement - and of course we had a lot of fun! The result - fabric collage at it's best using scraps to create fabrics, layering contrasting fabrics and translucents, yarns, embellishments and stitching to create texture and movement - with colour pulsing throughout.   Everything to appeal to a wild woman!  To see more from the weekend click here or on any of the images. A huge thank you to Caroline and the friends who joined us from near and not too far, to make it such a fabulous experience.
