FULL Painting with Thread Janome Masterclass

Tuesday 26th & Wednesday 27th March 2019 10am – 4pm each day

I cannot deny it - I love Free Machine Embroidery and all it offers me. I can get lost in the interplay between myself and my machines, the cloth and threads...there's much more to this than a quick to and fro with the feed dogs down!

Over 2 days your eyes will be opened to the spectacular world of Embroidered Art: Kirsty Allsop said "she’s hooked" & you will be too!!

"Brilliant course, very enjoyable and helped me to develop skills at adapting my chosen subject into a sketch to work from and time to practice transforming it using different types of thread. Lots of useful tips and advice on techniques.

Expert tuition and guidance from Dionne and a chance to work with likeminded students in a relaxed and well equipped environment. The course was well organised made me thirsty for more." Gillian Jones

"What a fabulous two days learning to paint with thread! And learning so much more – about threads, needles and sewing machines. Dionne took away the “fear”of machine embroidery for me ; she is an inspirational teacher. Many thanks Dionne!" Allison James
