Hutt Art Class – Dahlia
Create a three-dimensional Dahlia flower with buds and leaves using the addictive art of needle weaving.
Mary will bring along samples where she has used this technique in her “Ruins from the Wardrobe” series. In this series, she takes garments that have personal meaning but are no longer wearable and embellish with their stories. Vegetation takes over the garment in the same way a building ruin is invaded.
The kit will include four flower shades of Strand yarn, green yarn and the background linen/cotton mix fabric. There will be a choice of both background and flower colours.
The materials cost includes linen and the Strand yarn.

Past Class- Stitch a Still Life
Create your own A4 size Still Life with a vase or a bowl containing three dimensional flowers, fruit and /or leaves.
Linen fabric will be available in a range of colours for you to create your own background textured with simple stitches.
A bowl or vase for your flowers and fruit will be appliqued.
Some threads and fabrics will be provided but if you have something special you would like to incorporate into the Still Life you are welcome to bring it along and we can discuss how to best use it. For example, the bowl for the cherries is from an old, embroidered doily and the cherries are red velvet. A piece of lace may look good on the table.
You may not finish completely, but you will have been taught and practised each step.
Advice and options for finishing your piece of work for display will be given.
