In this full-day Zoom workshop you will explore ways of making simple three-dimensional pockets with stiffened cloth. Your pocket design will be inspired by a small object that you have chosen. The pocket is intended to hold your object or collection.

‘I walk, I look, and I listen. I pick up an object and put it into my pocket. Later, I make a container for it. The questions I repeatedly ask myself are: What do I pick up and how and where do I put it down?’

What you will learn:
•How to stiffen and support cloth with emulsion paint
•How the objects you have collected can inspire your 3D pocket
•Paper manipulation techniques: folding, cutting, scoring and  joining
•How to make a 2D paper template for your 3D pocket
•The processes and stitches Debbie uses for manipulating and joining  stiffened cloth
•That how you display an object or collection can have a bearing on how it is read

Cost: £75, includes workshop kit (printed workbook, linen and cotton fabrics, fine wire and bookbinding needle) which will be posted to you on booking.
​
​Please note: the workshop pack can only be posted to a UK address.  If you live outside the UK you will be emailed a pdf of the workshop booklet only.
