Join textile artist Tamara Russell for a workshop exploring the Log Cabin technique. Using precious scraps of cloth, this technique will allow you to slow down in a hectic world and take pleasure in simple stitches and processes. Create a 10 x 10 cm patch which could then be used as a coaster. Participants will learn how a simple running stitch can be used for connecting pieces to a background using the Log Cabin patchwork technique.
The workshop is suitable for both beginners and more experienced stitchers.
