The Craft Collective online

Today we lunched 'The Craft Collective' and with it my first workshop which will be held a Humanitas Shop Hitchin. www.thecraftcollectiveonline.co.uk
Here is the flyer to explain

















The Craft Collective 
is a group of Hertfordshire based textile, 
mixed media and stitch artists.

As individuals we use natural silks, organic textiles and wool, and repurpose fabrics.  Our processes range from hand dying wool fibres and fabrics to making paper and from silk forms to furniture.
As a collective, stitch is a fundamental part of our work but with outcomes that are very different. 
The Craft Collective workshops are a way of handing on and keeping alive the skills  we have.
              
So let's start at the beginning. Come and learn how to make a sample book of hand stitches and simple free machine stitch. Then use what you've learnt to create pattern and texture. 
Try  up-cycling garments or interiors or just create beautiful interesting pieces to frame.

             
The workshop
