Stitched textile artist Amanda Clayton is passionate about the purity of cloth and thread and says: 'My creative practice is my life. It intertwines with my friends, family, home, garden and travels...I am still learning, challenging and I am never satisfied. This drives me forward to my next piece. Creativity is my life.'
She feels working primarily in neutrals can put the emphasis on elements that can ordinarily be overlooked.

This three-day workshop is very much about experimenting and taking risks. You will be challenging the qualities of the cloth you work with by being creative with bias, shaping, construction, right side/wrong side, with a particular emphasis on as well as taking it from flat to three dimensional form.
The course will involve responding to a primary source , developing concept, imagery and your own visual language. You'll work with hand stitch as a functional element, rediscovering old techniques in a new context and exploring the inherent qualities of cloth.

You may not go away with resolved pieces but you will have lots of ideas to develop back in your own studio, and a greater understanding of your own individual visual language.
