Workshop Saturday 13th September

 Don’t forget the workshop “The Secrets of Summer Leaves and Flowers “ with Maggie Pearson, Saturday 13th September, 10.30 to 4.30 at the United Reformed Church Hall, Alsager, ST7 2PA.

She will show different methods of applying heat and moisture to mobilise and transfer natural pigments from foliage to fibre and share key techniques which ensure the best possible prints.

If you want to use a particular leaf or flower please bring some from your garden. Some plants work better than others so it’s trial and error.
