About the workshop

Inspired by poppies and daisies found both wild and in the garden, this workshop invites you to spend a creative day hand-printing your own cushion cover. Using my uniquely designed stencils and a carefully curated palette of heat-fixable textile paints, you’ll create a piece that’s personal to you and ready to proudly display at home.

Working in a small, friendly group, you’ll be gently guided through the process with plenty of demonstrations and time to practise, building both confidence and skill as you go.

During the day, you’ll learn how to:• Use stencil printing techniques on fabric with confidence• Build delicate, painterly flowers and foliage through layering• Create poppies, daisies and seed heads with tonal colour and detail• Develop your own balanced, decorative pattern• Work with a beautiful range of pre-mixed colours inspired by summer gardens

With plenty of one-to-one support throughout — from technique to composition — this workshop is ideal for complete beginners, as well as those looking to refine and develop their creative skills.

Held at the beautiful Walford Mill Crafts, it’s a chance to slow down, enjoy a mindful, hands-on process, and fully immerse yourself in creativity.

For a truly co-ordinated and beautifully personal touch, you may also wish to join my lampshade workshop and create a matching piece for your home. When booked together, both courses are offered at a reduced price — a rewarding and more immersive creative experience.

The lampshade workshop takes place on Saturday 20th June in Wimborne — please get in touch for full details and booking options.

All materials are provided, including a neutral cushion cover.Workshop content and colours may vary slightly from images.

Places are limited, so booking is essential.
