As part of Selvedge Magazine’s Textile Month programme of events, join Sarah at the William Morris Society for a truly unique workshop experience in a magical setting. Inspired by the delights of the natural world, Sarah will show and discuss different approaches to painting patterns and designs directly onto fabric. Starting with smaller practice pieces in the morning, participants will be able to develop their skills and ideas, and after lunch move on to painting their designs directly onto a cotton tote bag or cushion cover or fabric piece that they can take away with them. As part of the workshop a member of staff of the society will show participants a select group of items from our collection, not currently on display.

Paints, brushes, fabrics and other necessaries will be provided; participants may like to bring their own favourite paintbrushes if they have them, any special pattern and colour references they may have – and possibly an apron.

You will hopefully go home with new skills, your new creations and perhaps a fresh understanding of pattern and design.

This workshop is open to people of all abilities and experience.

Teas, coffees and biscuits will be provided.
