Fabric Sketchbooks - Dionne Swift

I have just attended a fabulous two-day workshop run by Dionne Swift at the Janome Centre in Stockport.  Only a 20 minute drive from home.

 The workshop is based on the existing Developing Sketchbooks Online but is based in a fabulous studio working on cloth and stitch exploration.  Each stitcher had a sewing machine and embellisher.

Dionne taught us all so much and at the end of the workshop we each had a fabric book full of stitch and needle punch exercises and techniques.  Dionne showed us how to look at ways of gathering inspiration and playing with imagery and cloth, she is an excellent tutor and gently pushed all of us beyond our existing boundaries!



There are lots more photographs on Dionne's Facebook page: www.facebook.com/DionneSwiftTextileArtist/ or why not look on her website:

Thoroughly recommended!

    Hello Jodi,
    It was nice to meet you at the Fabric Sketchbooks workshop last week. Totally agree with you that we were all pushed beyond our boundaries! I loved the fact that I had lots of different ideas that could be worked on in future projects. All the best, Annex
