Carol Cooke Author and Extreme Embroiderer – Workshop – Can Can Birds

Carol uses conventional time-tested stitches, but now the rules have changed.

‘Improv’ refers to inventing your own work rather than following someone else’s patterns and instructions. Together we explore many ideas that you adapt to your own projects. Using commercial cloth will become a discovery on how to colour in images into your own unique and original works of art. While the topic is the same for each student you will all go home with a Can Can Bird from Paris that is unique to you.

This is a place to escape, a place to be still and listen to your heartbeat as your needle and thread creates your story. You take full ownership. Be still and listen. Your silence opens a door. What is it you hear? Poem by Philip Snellen THROW PERFECTION OUT THE WINDOW. Fear of failure? Trying something new? Then you are in the right place. What is perfection? Is it attainable? We can always do better!
