The Craft Sessions

block printing on fabric : workshop at The Craft Sessions

Oh man, how can I sum up the pure excellent-ness that was The Craft Sessions? How can I convey the warmth, the joy, the excitement, the comraderie and general sense of belonging that surrounded every moment of the entire weekend? And how can I do it without creating a pathological degree of envy in any and every one who wasn't fortunate enough to join in??

I just can't.

It was amazing. It was wonderful. I met so many gorgeous people who created so much gorgeous handwork in a huge variety of mediums, from embroidery to knitting to dyeing to sewing garments and, of course, patchwork and block printing. I could not have asked for a better introduction to teaching and I could not have enjoyed it any more. I'm going to share a few more photos from the Block Printing on Fabric and Freeform Patchwork workshops that I taught and I apologise in advance for the envy :)

  4. This is so cool. Too bad I'm in a different country. I have so much fabric, I should make a patchwork blanket for us.
