Lynda Monk - Mixed Media Textile Artist

Last week Ann Cornes and myself visited Chelford branch to attend a workshop run by Lynda Monk (www.purplemissus.com).  The workshop showed us how to make a vessel and a quiltlet using Lynda's techniques.  The lovely, messy techniques involved using Kunin felt, Lutradur, pelmet vilene and lots and lots of Gesso and Xpandaprint.  And we had plenty of practice in using a heat gun and soldering iron.

Under Lynda's excellent tuition we each created a vessel and a quiltlet but as the items hadn't dried we had to wrap them in plastic to take them home so that we could complete them.  Here are our pieces as they look at the moment, about 31cm tall:

Now they are dry we can add colour - and in a little while (!) I shall post  a couple more photos to show them to you in all their glory!
