June 2011

At the beginning of June we had a workshop with Linda Westerman on 3D images. Although the workshop was poorly attended it was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Linda has a lot of patience and is an inspiring teacher. We all did something quite different to each other as I sure these images will illustrate.

Our practical evening was insertion stitches. Seonaid had set up some cards ready and a sheet of instructions for us to work on this technique. We didn’t get going on them straight away as we had a lot to discuss re- forthcoming exhibitions (more of these in future posts).

Our speaker in June was Hilary Nagashi. She took us on a journey around Iran using a digital projector. She brought some lovely examples of embroidery to show us and really gave us a good insight into her life as a member of an Iranian family.

We thoroughly enjoyed Hilary’s talk and drooled over the amazing collection of embroidered items that she brought with her.  Sadly I didn’t have my camera with me so I don’t have any photographs to show.
