Full-day textile workshop with Deb Davis on hand stitching and slow stitch to make a stitched vessel from fabric scraps.
Deb Davis is running a stitched vessels workshop at Indigo Crow Gallery on Wednesday 28 October, from 10am to 3:30pm. It's a full day's session, and the whole thing centres on hand stitching and slow stitch — the kind of work where you take your time rather than rushing through. The goal is to use scraps of fabric to make a stitched vessel that's actually of practical use, so you'll leave with something you can keep and use rather than just a piece for the wall.
One of the best bits is how much you can make your own. It's open to all abilities, and you decide how to finish the piece: the top edge can be left rustic or finished with a binding, and you can embellish the whole thing with beads, lace, maps or typed words. All the materials are provided, though you're more than welcome to bring along your own fabric scraps if you've got a stash you've been meaning to use.
Deb Davis herself is a textile artist based in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire. She works with free-motion embroidery and printing — collagraph in particular — to emulate the subtle, vibrant colours and textures she sees in nature, so the workshop comes from someone who spends a lot of time thinking about how fabric and stitch can mirror the natural world.
