Join Victoria from Little House of Victoria in this Heat Transfer and Stitch on fabrics workshop here at Eden Tearoom and Galleries. 

This is a simple way to make prints that will provide a springboard for taking further with stitch, and the many prints you will make in this workshop will take you beyond the workshop. The prints are also beautiful to display in their own right, even without stitch being applied, one of your prints will be embroidered in the workshop.

Heat transfer printing provides expressive and spontaneous results. You will leave with multiple prints for future projects, and you will work on one of the prints in class. The marks are permanent, and the prints have many uses. Heat transfer is a simple process, which can be as abstract as you like. Making beautiful prints is easily achievable with this quick and easy process.

Natural, botanical, landscape, and abstract themes will be explored, as these subjects provide much scope for organic shapes and print making.

Full step by step tuition is provided in this workshop where we will first create multiple printed backgrounds on natural fabrics with heat transfer paints. Then we will select a print to enhance with stitch. The methods selected will be tailored to your prints, and guidance will be given as to how to enhance your work, and you have free rein to be as creative as you like.

This project involves a few simple stitches, and i will guide you through the steps. It also suitable for advance stitchers as it is possible to be creative with the printing and embroidery. The embroidered panel an be framed as art, or as a wall hanging, or applied to a number of objects and you will receive sufficient materials to continue to stitch your piece at home if you wish.
