'Creative Surfaces' Workshop by Lynda Monk

Lynda's superb talk earlier this month was followed up the next day with a workshop that enabled us to have a go at creating some of the wonderfully textured and exciting surfaces that she had shown us.

Lynda provided participants with everything they needed for the workshop, so with pre-prepared painted pelmet Vilene we 'bondawebbed', foiled, painted, glued either more Vilene painted shapes and/or pieces of tissue from old dressmaking patterns (Vogue patterns are the best!).  

We also managed to fit in some screen printing using puffa paint.  Having the materials pre-prepared meant that we didn't waste a single minute during the full-on session, and we were able to take full advantage of Lynda's expert tuition and guidance in the techniques she uses.

We all had lots of samples to take home, which developed further as they were drying, and which we can stitch into at our leisure ....
