Freehand Machinery

Over the holiday I decided to have a go at some free hand machining. I admire artists such as Katie Essam a great deal and thought I would create some pieces of my own. Here is my Paris inspired piece. Lots of small pieces of fabric, french knots and very untidy machining. Im really very happy with it and aim to demonstrate the technique to my year 9's next year. The possibilities are endless.

Have a go at something new this week, you never know you might enjoy it.

Emily Thorpe's Peacock Samples

Here are some beautiful peacock inspired samples by Emily Thorpe in year 11. Emily has used paint, applique, reverse applique, couching and quilting. Her samples will be displayed on a hat for her final piece. I am very much looking forwards to seeing this. Well done Emily, keep up the good work.
