The Art of Lutradur: Botanicals, Nature &; Organic Surfaces

Experimental Textile Workshop at Eau Brink Studio

Explore the natural and organic side of Lutradur in this creative textile workshop at Eau Brink Studio in West Norfolk.

Inspired by gardens, seed heads, leaves and natural textures, this workshop focuses on creating layered surfaces and experimental samples using botanical imagery, mark making, stitch and surface manipulation techniques.

Working with several weights of Lutradur, you will experiment with shape, texture and natural forms while exploring how the material can be transformed into delicate organic surfaces for textile art and mixed media work.
