Make an Embroidered Book in 2 days with Isobel Hall

12 – 13 February 2011 at the Embroiderers’ Hall, Gorman House Arts Centre, Braddon.

Cost: Members – $200; Non-members –$230

Students will complete an embroidered book in 2 days, using a spine sewing frame (to be provided). This is an opportunity to learn how to construct and embroider a hard backed book with an open embroidered and/or beaded spine. Isobel's specialty is mixed media and in this workshop you will learn a variety of techniques to decorate your book and apply to your textile design. Isobel is very flexible and allows students to work at their own pace and go in the direction that they want. As an example, some people will make the book block and covers but then assemble them at home, thus leaving time for more mixed media techniques or learning how to construct a simple book with a Japanese style binding.

A deposit of $100.00 will reserve your place in the workshop and places will be allocated on a first come basis. A requirements list will be provided on payment of your deposit. Final payment is due 15 January 2011 and terms are available - please discuss with the Treasurer to arrange.

Basic Surface Stitches

These are conducted on 1st Monday of each month at 12.30pm or 6.30pm (minimum of three students). Cost: $5.00 includes kit.

UFO Days

Every 5th Sunday of the month the Guild will hold a UFO day where anyone is welcome to come along between 10 am and 4 pm and work towards completing one of their unfinished objects (UFOs).
