313S Earth – Texture Day Sunday 7th July
Rosalie Dace
Session: 2 x 3hr
Level: All Levels
Workshop Type: Hand Sewing or Sewing Machine or Both
Rosalie is obsessed with light and colour, loving the rich contrasts resulting from the juxtaposition of
cottons, silks, velvets, brocade, and sheers. She loves traditional quilts but wants her quilts to say
something about their time and place in history and come directly from her life.
As a teacher and artist, her aim is to fill her students with confidence and the excitement she feels
about creating art in fabric and fibre. Rosalie aims to guide them in the direction of their interest in a
non-threatening supportive environment, so that they create more than they thought possible.
DETAILED COURSE DESCRIPTION:
EARTH WIND AND FIRE …. Three one- day classes that are linked: Delegates may do one, two or
three classes that lead on from each other and can result in more in-depth input from the
instructor. However, each day’s class is totally independent and does not require the student to do
them all. Using the supplied fabric packs enjoy one, two or three days of this exciting Earth, Wind
and Fire exploration to create a small series of quilts that each focuses on a different aspect of
nature and design with a variety of fabrics.
BONUS:
Anyone signing up for all three consecutive days gets a bonus pack of water fabrics of cool watery
blues, greens and aqua silks, metallics and cottons to continue making your series!
In this Earth workshop, celebrate the magic of texture as you make your small landscape with a rich
variety of textured fabric and threads in rich earthy browns, coppers, golds and greens. As you work
by hand or machine with your supplied kit, feel and layer velvets, tweeds, corduroys and cottons.
Fold, cover and cut before adding textured stitches and knots to complete a 30cm x 30cm block. The
fabric pack will contain backing fabric, a variety of textured fabrics including velvets, tweeds,
