Introduction to Flower Casting

Flower casting, or botanical bas-relief, is an artistic technique where flowers and plants are pressed into a clay mold to capture their intricate details, and then plaster is poured over this mold to create a raised relief cast. The process involves arranging delicate plant material on wet clay, removing the plants after they've left an imprint, and then pouring plaster to form a permanent keepsake. These casts can be left plain or painted to highlight the captured textures and patterns, preserving ephemeral beauty in a tangible, long-lasting form. Create your own unique plaster cast tile using clay and plaster. You will be working with seasonal plants, natural materials, seed pods impressing images onto clay and using plaster to create the cast. All materials are included.

Appliqué with Deborah Dorward

We're very excited to have Deborah Dorward author of 'Stitches of Time' teaching her wonderful style of Appliqué here at Cowslip once again. She draws inspiration from antique quilts and is especially inspired by Folk Art quilts and Cross Stitch wall hangings. She prefers to work with reproduction fabrics as she enjoys the history and the senses of “being here before” that speaks to her but likes to choose brighter more interesting prints. Hand quilting is a particular passion of hers and she tries to hand quilt all her quilts when possible as she prefers the softness hand quilting gives to a quilt. You can choose to work on any of her patterns (pattern cost is payable to Deborah on the day) or you can choose any project from her book, please let us know which project you would like to do so that Deborah can bring the pattern/templates. She will also have several new quilts to choose from. Please bring a hand sewing kit

Introduction to Patchwork and Quilting Part 1

An introduction to using a rotary cutter and machine piecing which speeds up the process of quilt making, this still keeps the character of the quilt, discussion about choosing colours, demonstration of simple hand quilting or ties, It is hard to finish a quilt in a day but this will be a good introduction and you should get well on with a project. This will be a day to learn the basic techniques of cutting and simple design, using either just squares or triangles as well. I will explain how to make templates for hand stitching but also the use of rotary cutter and machine piecing using ¼” foot which speeds up the process. You will start piecing and have a plan of how to finish and how to quilt, as it is impossible to finish in the day. The main thing is to have fun… not stress, possibly use up or incorporate old fabrics or children’s dresses. Basic explanation of quilting threads and stitches, will also explain /demo bonded appliqué. STUDENTS REQUIREMENTS • Basic sewing kit to include: paper and fabric scissors, pins, sewing threads to match or grey or colour to blend with all, for piecing, also to match your appliqué fabric • Rotary Cutter, Cutting Mat, Ruler (Omnigrid type) if you have to bring with you, if not you can borrow or purchase in our shop with 10% discount if you buy all three. • Sewing machine, in good working order with instruction manual (optional can sew by hand) • Template card/ Cereal pack is fine, fine black felt pen, Pritt stick or glue, pencils and...

Patchwork and Quilting Part 2

This will be a follow on from beginners where we will move on to triangles and quick piecing techniques to help you achieve more advanced designs, as always it is the play with colour and design that makes the quilt and I will explain how I try to blend and shade quilts without using complicated designs. It is always possible to sew by hand but I find most students prefer to use their 1/4” foot, which is even more helpful and important when sewing triangles, the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy! Students requirements Basic sewing kit to include: paper and fabric scissors, pins, sewing threads to match or grey or colour to blend with all, for piecing, also to match your appliqué fabric Rotary Cutter, Cutting Mat, Ruler (Omnigrid type) if you have to bring with you, if not you can borrow or purchase in our shop with 10% discount if you buy all three. Sewing machine, in good working order with instruction manual (optional can sew by hand) Template card/ Cereal pack is fine, fine black felt pen, Pritt stick or glue, pencils and note book Fabrics: You will need approximately 2-3 metres in total made up of scraps, whatever colours you like, this can be one range of colours like all soft pinks, or mixed brights, whatever you fancy, don’t be afraid to add in odd bits of fabric that you have as long as they are cotton and not worn out including stripes and checks. NOT HEAVY LINEN OR VELVET AS IT IS HARD TO SEW.

Printing with Tetra Pak cartons

This eco-friendly method repurposes cartons for artistic prints. Using a sharp tool like an etching needle or a craft knife to score into the carton's surface, creates lines that will hold ink.The shiny, silver surface can be peeled away or scratched off to expose the brown card beneath, creating different tones.Ink is applied to the plate and wiped away from the surface so it remains only in the incised lines and textures. The plate is then pressed onto paper. A really easy way to create a plate to print and recycle too. All materials are included.
