Talks and Workshops
I have been asked by numerous people if I run workshops or do talks. The answer is that I do give talks and run workshops for groups such as The Embroidery Guild or Patchwork and Quilting groups or anyone else who may be interested.
My talk would be titled "Pushing Boundaries" with the content being my journey through university to start and then how I developed my work practise using stitch with emphasis on machine techniques, sharing inspirations and encouraging work to be seen in a fine art context as my work crosses the boundaries of embroidery, quilt art and fine art. I have a wealth of stitch samples which I think would be of interest to embroidery enthusiasts because it shows how I have pushed traditional techniques further on than is usually seen possible and into a fine art context. My skill is creating textures using fabric manipulation and machine embroidery techniques. I hope that this information is OK but I will be happy to enlarge on this if required. I would be please to discuss my charges with you. Please contact me on my email no lesleyalex2@mac.com
I can run a variety of classes and workshops in stitched textile techniques, fabric manipulation, mark making with pencil or machine embroidery.
