Kath Wilkinson

Earthly Delights 
a 2 day workshop with Kath Wilkinson 14 & 15 July $120 FULL

Kath is a well known textile artist whose passion is to explore techniques and skills based in traditional practises, using them to realize their potential in contemporary embroidery.

In this workshop we will create a unique and luscious piece of fabric by using a variety of methods to decorate and add colour to the background, then embroidering details according to a design plan.  . We will experiment with different sources of indigenous colouring agents and discuss ways of collecting and extracting them.  Leaf printing will be used to create borders and patterns, and embroidery to compliment and highlight the marks and patterns on the fabric.
