Make your own Fabric Sketchbook(2 day workshop) Sat 8th &

A brand new workshop for 2026 — and one I’ve wanted to create for years! Come and spend a weekend making a beautiful fabric sketchbook with me, exploring a range of playful printing and sewing techniques along the way. From creating screen prints with embroidery hoops to ‘drawing’ with sewing machines, this workshop is all about experimentation, creativity and happy accidents. Throughout the day we’ll gather inspiration in our “Happy Squares” before developing imagery and motifs for your pages — and don’t panic, I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way and help you discover fantastic ideas to work from. By the end of the workshop you’ll leave with your own bound fabric sketchbook filled with unique textile pages to treasure and continue building on at home. Please don’t wear your best clothes, as we may get a little messy! Tea, coffee and a sweet treat are included throughout the day, but please bring your own lunch. The workshop will take place in my new first-floor studio at Kingfisher Galleries and Studios, 2 Gate Farm, Kiddington, Woodstock, OX20 1DB. Please note the studio is accessed via one flight of stairs.
