The Flower Brooch

o.l.v. Jill Flower (UK)

DEZE WORKSHOP IS GEANNULEERD WEGENS ZIEKTE VAN DE DOCENTE!
 

An experimental textile workshop led by Jill FLower.

During this class you will complete a 'flower brooch' in a day.....if not two!

It is a new and contemporary way of using old magazines, deconstructing and reconstructing the papers and producing a piece of wearable art, in short: Creative Recycling.

They all develop differently, different shapes, colours and patterns. Some bold and solid, others delicate and dainty; Embellished and decorated with sequins, baubles and beads.

Every brooch is completely personal and unique.

Students are requested to seek out unusual papers or magazines with favourite colours or subjects. A wide variety of papers are succesful for this project. Fabrics and ribbons can be introduced to the design, if the student wishes but can be made entirely from paper.

The work is machine stitched using either automatic stitching or 'free'machining. Once the work is fully connected the piece is washed and dried: the embellishment is the last step.

As said before, the project takes a day to complete. Most students tend to finish one brooch and have another strip of fabric to complete later at home.

NOTE:
A sewing machine is required and basic knowledge of the machine.

a small requirement list can be found below.

Individual starter packs will be supplied by the tutor with the products and brooch backings to complete the project.
