Another great course at Moor Hall, this time with Amanda Clayton.
Lovely students and just brilliant tutoring. Here is what the group got up to.........they started with drawings.
Students started the course by doing some drawing studies from one of Amanda's collections.
Studies were carried out using dry drawing media and a variety of different papers that suggested different fabrics.
THEY THEN MOVED ON TO WORKING WITH FABRIC, THREAD AND STITCH
The good news is that Amanda returns next year for a three day course.
23rd to 25th July 2018
(Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday)
