Gill's Elephant

Gill and I went to India last year with Jamie and Colouricious.

A trip of a life time.

See some of our inspiration and videos HERE

Gill has been inspired to make a 'Toran',

an India Celebration Door Hanging.

This is her sample for one of the elephants that will be at the

top of the hanging.

The fabric is dyed, resist dyed, printed and stitched,

then heavily embellished with beading.

Gill is going on to do her 

Diploma in City and Guilds Creative Textiles,

Machine Embroidery.

Go Create, Children's Art Club

The first Saturday of every month we hold a Children's Art Club called 'Go Create'.

Every month there is a different inspiration, a list of which can be found HERE

It also shows you photographs of what activities have been going on too!

There is a lot of creating and laughter as well!

Kim's Printed and Embroidered Elephant

Printing Elephants

Mixed Media Textile Tuesday and Thursday started with 

printing elephants this year.

I brought a carved would block Elephant set while I was in Jaipur.

It has four layers and takes quite a lot of concentration to 

to match the pattern sections up.

Everyone had a great time and the Elephants all look fantastic.
