Join Eden Valley Artistic Network (EVAN) online and spend a relaxed hour with Maggi Toner-Edgar (Fashion Designer/Maker/Stylist) learning how to recreate and regenerate textiles through the Japanese method of patchwork layering and shashiko hand- stitching.

In order to fully enjoy the workshop the equipment you will need to have to hand is:

• Small scraps of thin linen, silk or cotton fabric cut or torn into squares and rectangles roughly between 3” and 5” wide.
• A large scrap of cotton backcloth approx A4-A3 in size
• A reel of thickish white/cream cotton thread - OR embroidery threads any colour and a large eyed needle with a sharp point. Embroidery needles are good, any will do for now.
• Dressmaking pins
• A thimble if you own one.
• Scissors

EVAN was established to encourage everyone from grassroots artists to professionals to follow their creative dream. This workshop is part of Flourish: EVAN's creative development programme.
