“A little strip of leaves”
Amanda Clayton
You will require as your ground to work on throughout the workshop a piece of silk organza in white or ivory about 15cm x 1m. This can be pieced together as you go along if you want from smaller pieces.
Besides the cloth for this strip you will need:
Pieces of neutral cloth about 15cm x 15cm or smaller which may include some of the following qualities:
Silk crepeline, organza, habotai, silk tulle, sateen, wool, dupion, velvet, lawn…..anything you have.
These again can be pieced together to make the size you want. A small bag of found white fragments of cloth if you wish to make your work more personal such as lace, damask, hankies etc.
Different qualities of white / neutral thread:
(I bring 15 different types of thread for you to use at no charge). I will bring small quantities
40 x 40 cm to purchase of the above cloth suggestions, (price depends on quality), and some organza strips 15cm x 1m which will be priced at £3.50. Also a pack of 14 qualities of neutral cloth 10cm x 10 cm priced at £10.
A small tambour frame if you like to work on one.
Small embroidery scissors. Needles and pins.
A water or air erasable pen for cloth.
A favourite leaf shape if you have one (optional)
A portable light. A camera, both optional.
Notebook / pencil
Please don’t go and buy loads of stuff, it should fit into a shopping basket quite nicely. We can manage on very little.
