309SH Sew a Postcard Sunday 7th July – Monday 8th July 12h00
Kathryn Harmer Fox
Session: 3 x 3hr
Level: All Levels

Kathryn is a multimedia artist and teacher whose predominant medium is textile. She uses her 
sewing machine as a mechanical paint brush or pencil. She stitches little snippets of various fabrics 
and fibres and uses coloured threads to create painterly images. The process of creating art is 
healing. It shifts something inside, allowing space for well-being.
 
DETAILED COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Kathryn will teach many of the techniques that she has used in her previous artworks through this 
A4-sized format. The techniques which students will learn include fibre embedment using scribble 
stitch, free motion machine embroidery, spider webbing and ragged-cord edging. But most 
importantly, students will learn how to critique and develop their own work.
