Past Class – Floral Impressions
Inspired by French impressionist painters such as Renoir and Monet, Friends of Wellington Botanic Garden's Artist in Residence Mary will show you how to create your own small piece of Impressionist art that can be inserted into a card or framed.
We will release the dye in flowers and leaves into fabric by pounding. The resultant design will be emphasized with simple stitches in matching colours.
Only small amounts of flowers need to be used, we will provide some for you. However, if you have any of the following in your garden you are welcome to bring them, pansies, violas, wallflowers, dandelions and puha, lobelia and geraniums.
A fabric pack, including cotton lawn and felt, will be provided with a needle. A good range of stranded cotton will be available for you to select from.
Most suitable for ages 12+ and confident in threading a needle.
Past Class – Suzani Bird Too
Traditional Suzani Embroidery in Uzbekistan has flourished again since the fall of the Soviet Union. Taking inspirations from a contemporary Suzani, this bird with flowers and leaves has been reinterpreted using crewel embroidery stiches.
This Suzani bird is designed to be a companion to last year's bird, You can either do the new design, a bird with attitude taken from a Suzani embroidery (is this where Dr Suess got his ideas from?) or the smaller Suzani Bird from 2024.
In this class you will learn a number of crewel stitches with Strand yarn.
The $30 design pack will include a printed linen/cotton panel of the design, a suggested stitch and color layout and a stitch dictionary.
At the end of the class you will be given detailed stitching instruction
A Strand wool pack containing the colours used will be available in class. Prices will be different depending which design you choose to do.
