The Art of Lutradur: Drawing with Thread

Creative Stitch & Textile Workshop at Eau Brink Studio

Explore stitch as a drawing and mark making tool in this experimental Lutradur workshop at Eau Brink Studio in West Norfolk.

This workshop focuses on expressive stitch, texture and layered thread work while exploring how machine and hand stitch can transform the surface of Lutradur.

Working with several weights of Lutradur, you will experiment with free flowing stitched marks, repeated lines, textured areas and open stitched surfaces while developing confidence using thread in a more creative and experimental way.

Rather than focusing on technical sewing, this workshop encourages a freer approach to stitch where thread becomes part of the surface design itself.

Through guided sampling and experimentation you will create a collection of stitched surfaces and reference samples for future textile and mixed media work.

This workshop is suitable for textile artists, embroiderers and anyone wanting to explore more expressive stitched surfaces.

During the workshop you will:

• Explore stitch as a creative mark making technique

• Experiment with hand and machine stitch on Lutradur

• Create textured stitched surfaces

• Work with several weights of Lutradur

• Develop ideas for future textile and mixed media projects

Suitable for:

• Textile artists and embroiderers

• Mixed media artists

• Free motion stitch enthusiasts

• Anyone interested in experimental textiles and surface design
