Christmas Decorations or Romantic Sampler with Caroline Zoob
Workshop Information
Caroline will now be covering both the Christmas Decorations & Romantic Sampler in this workshop but you must choose either one or the other.
Christmas Decorations
Giving something handmade at Christmas is very special, but we always run out of time. Why not join our workshop with Caroline Zoob and spend a fun, productive day, using antique and vintage papers and textiles and different techniques to create charming cards, tags and delicate Christmas Decorations to give or keep. You do not need any experience for this workshop, but if you are happy using a sewing machine, bring it along. All materials are provided so please allow a £10 per head cost for this which is payable to Caroline.
Requirements
Pencil
Rubber
Selection of paper scissors
Apron
If you have your own watercolour box, do bring it, otherwise paints will be provided
Romantic Sampler
Some of Caroline’s first pieces were tiny patchwork samplers made from antique linens, heavily textured with quilting and hand embroidery. Using her gorgeous fabrics you will piece a base, and then decorate it with appliqué and hand or machine embroidery, lace or even antique papers, to create an heirloom piece. Perfect if you have a wedding or special family event you want to commemorate. Basic competence with a sewing machine required for piecing, but the course can accommodate any level of embroidery skills. There is a charge of £10, payable on the day to Caroline for the fabric.
