Pauline Verrinder Workshop

I recently spent a very enjoyable and productive weekend with The Textile Beas at Denman College with Pauline Verrinder.  Pauline is a mentor and part of the Fibre Fusion group who who often exhibit and have written several excellent booklets about embroidery.

We spent the weekend exploring scrim and wire along with other materials with machine and hand stitch.  I made several small pieces which I hope to take further when I have some spare time.

 

By stitching on the scrim, the threads are pulled apart and manipulated to create a lace like structure.  To see some amazing pieces made by Pauline Verrinder go to her website at Pauline Verrinder.com.

Felt has also been added to this sample.  As the pieces are wired they may be manipulated.
