Hot Stuff with Pauline Barnes

Saturday, 3rd October, was a relaxed and enjoyable day spent with Pauline Barnes and 17 other members of the Leamington and District Embroiderers' Guild.
During the day we experimented with Tyvek, Lutrador, stencils, gesso, paints, heat guns and soldering irons. The techniques we were shown were varied and able to be applied in many contexts.

A work area during the day. We used so many techniques and materials, clearing up had to happen regularly.
