The Leitrim Design House is delighted to host two textile workshops on Saturday 29 March. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own fabric postcards, with all materials supplied on the day. These workshop are funded by Leitrim Local Community Development Committee under the 2023-2027 LEADER Programme.
The workshops are fully booked.
The workshops are organised during the Irish Patchwork Society's exhibition titled Places, featuring over 65 individual postcard sized works. Members from all seven branches of the Society have taken part, from Donegal to Cork and everywhere in between. The cards feature a wide range of techniques and materials.
Members have used traditional patchwork piecing, appliqué, foundation piecing, fabric collage. Once created, further details were put on these fabric pieces using paint and dye, printed and free painted on fabric, free motion quilting, thread painting, hand quilting and embroidery and embellishment with beads, yarns, ribbons. Places runs until 29 April; you can read more here.
