AETA - Day School Descriptions 2023/2024
Thursday 12th October 2023 (Max number 16) – - Reverse appliqué in velvet - deluxe! with Morag Gray
Once again we are lucky to have secured Morag for another exciting day school. In this workshop she will take us through using rich velvet as the base layer, overlay an exciting mix of lustrous silky or lightweight patterned printed material to add editing 3D texture. If you can use old velvets and assorted layers of dressmaking remnants, so much the better as the material will be softer and richer once layered and cut back into. Morag’s thoughts are based around Moroccan mosaic tile patterns to create rich and luxurious textiles suitable for Christmas Gift bags, cushion covers or footstools depending on how carried away we are on our magic carpet!
Thursday 16th November 2023 (Max number 12) – Stencilling Fabric & Make a Lampshade/Wall Panel with Astrid Weigel
In this workshop you will learn simple, but effective stencilling techniques to print your own fabric. You will develop your design to draw onto stencil paper, then cut it out, mix your own palette of colours and print your fabric piece. You can choose to make either a 20cm diameter piece for a lampshade or make a 30cm square wall panel.
Thursday 18th January 2024 (Max number 16) – Crewel Work with Isobel Law.
In this workshop we will make mini embroidery pictures using crewelwork and stumpwork stitches. These could be used to make cards or post cards.
Thursday 22nd February 2024 (max number 12) -Sparkling organza gingko leaves – with Susie Stehli
In this workshop we will create a small tableau of gingko leaves, using layers of organza and other materials, some up cycled, to create a sparkling effect, on a choice of background fabrics. We will then frame them ready to hang on the wall.
Thursday 14th March 2024 (Max number 16) – Terrific Transfer Painting with Gillian Cooper (postponed from 2023)
This workshop will explain how to use transfer paints, including a variety of paint effects; using masks such as leaves; and the differences that can occur due to the individual properties of some of the amazing array of synthetic fabrics available. This knowledge will be put to practical use to makes pages that can then be stitched into a fabric book or a series of small compositions which can be stitched in the afternoon.
Saturday 27th April 2024 - a day trip to ‘The Gathering’ in Perth
The Scottish Stitch and Textiles (SST) group are stitchers and textile artists from across Scotland. They are linked by their love of textiles and range from beginners to experienced stitchers. Stitchers from around Scotland meet up once a year for - ‘The Gathering’. They have a speaker, traders, a bookstall and a stitching project on the day. In 2024, it will take place in Perth. (It is open to members. The Committee is actively taking steps to become members.) Transport arrangements to /from will be made.
