My Journey as a Weaver Opening Talk by Jan Beadle

Friday 9th March – 6.30pm – St Finnbarr's Church, Dornoch Admission £5 on the door – includes Soup & Cheese supper

Jan Beadle is a designer and weaver of contemporary textiles for fashion, interiors and accessories.

After completing her BA Hons in Textiles, Jan moved to Cumbria where she initially worked in Higher Education running a Constructed Textile Resource at University of Cumbria, formally Cumbria Institute of the Arts.

Since 2010 Jan has been concentrating full-time on making and exhibiting her own work, in which she frequently experiments with different weave structures to see how they distort when manipulated and felted to create individual handcrafted pieces.

With over 30 years experience of working in the textiles field, Jan will talk about her career and how it all began, with samples to illustrate the techniques she uses in her work.

Masterclass 2: Botanical Printing (2 day workshop) Tutor: Liz Gaffney Whaite Location: Social Club Day: Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th Times: 10 – 4 Cost: £75 Skills needed: None

Liz Gaffney Whaite is a lady of many talents, but as a qualified florist she has a natural and professional eye for botanical artistry.

Combining this with studies in millinery, fashion design and pattern construction, and her feltmaking business, Heartfelt by Liz, means that you will be learning from someone with a wide range of skills.

Liz furthered her Imprint skills with Irit Dulman, and her natural dyeing skills with Michael Garcia, and now combines these with Scottish grown plants, growing much of her own dye material.

On this two day workshop you will go on a journey to understand the basics of what botanical alchemy is about, working through from paper to fabrics, learning about mordanting and tannins used in botanical printing and the plants which are suitable for both dyeing and imprinting.

You will learn about layering and over dyeing and, having grasped the basics over these two days, you will take home a range of materials to further your experiments in this potentially amazing art form.

Materials will be supplied but you will need to bring an apron & gloves.
