Decorate and personalise your very own tote bag

Join tutor Emma in this half day workshop to decorate a calico tote bag. You will use a combination of print, mark-making, stencilling and stitch to decorate and add a personal touch.

You will begin by drawing out your design inspired by the range of stamps, colours paints and embellishments available. Emma will be on hand throughout to demonstrate print, stitch and embellishment techniques.

You will be encouraged to be playful and to add interest to your work, challenging your creativity and imagination.

Suitable for young people aged 13 - 17 years

MEET YOUR TUTOR

Emma is trained in textiles and visual design. She is inspired by nature and the world around her, exploring colour, pattern and texture. Working in mixed media, Emma explores her passions through weave, print and collage.

Her most recent work is collage inspired by pets, people and plants.
