Service Description
Modern Freeform Quilting Weekend with Kasia Hamilton Explore contemporary hand quilting through an intuitive, freeform approach to textile making. In this two-day workshop, you will transform fabric scraps and personal textiles into an abstract quilted collage, experimenting with colour, texture, composition and hand stitch. Rather than following traditional patterns or worrying about precision, this workshop encourages you to work spontaneously and let the fabrics guide the process, inspired by personal experiences, places, journeys and everyday surroundings. You will be introduced to fundamental stitching and hand-quilting techniques, learning how to layer, stitch and construct a freeform textile composition to take home and continue working on if needed. Suggested finished size: approximately 30 × 40 cm to 50 × 70 cm. Suitable for all skill levels, including beginners. Come prepared to experiment, play with fabric and embrace the unexpected. Materials Scrap fabrics and wadding will be provided. We ask participants to bring: One piece of fabric to work as a backing (size depends on your final design — best not too big). Scraps of fabric you'd like to incorporate (old clothes, old sheets etc). Additional scrap fabrics, wadding and sewing equipment will be provided. Tutor Kasia is a creative practitioner originally from Poland, now based in St Leonards on Sea, with a professional background in interior design and many years spent creating interactive and narrative-driven experiences. She lectures at UAL and brings a warm, holistic approach to her teaching, weaving together design, textiles and creative practice. www.kasiahamilton.com @kasia_hamilton_studio Price £150 per person, materials included.
