Adventures with stitch- Kandinsky

7 Comments

imageKandinsky uses a number of different shapes and symbols in his paintings. There are meandering lines, straight lines,checkerboard patterns in black and white,triangles and circles. Using these symbols, together with his colour palette, this workshop will explore the patterns and work them using couching and other line stitches onto a coloured background.

    Hi Janet. We are hoping you might be available to give a talk and possibly a workshop for us at Bristol Quilters. The dates we have in mind are:

    November 2014, April, May or June 2015.

    I should be grateful if you could let me know.

    Many thanks

      Hello Stephanie

      Thank you for your invitation to come to Bristol. I would be happy to do that.
      What date in November did you have in mind? If that clashes with existing dates, I would choose the April 2015 date
      Usually I talk about my own work.
      I look forward to hearing from you.

      Best wishes
      Janet

        Dear Janet. Suzanne has had to cease the role of Programme secretary here in Norwich. As a stop gap, as branch secretary, I have filled her shoes. She will be a difficult person to replace.
        I wonder if you could offer another date for us here? We are looking at 2016 (which does seem eons ahead, but I find we get to the future so quickly now. Are you able to book this far ahead? Either Fri 5, Sat 6 Feb, or in March 4 and 5th?
        Many thanks
        Frances Overy

        hello Suzanne
        I would be able to do the 4th or 5th March 2016 for a workshop on Kandinsky.
        Please do not worry about cancelling the October date. I have a very busy Month with the K & Stitch and an exhibition to prepare work for so I will be glad to have the extra time.

        Do come and visit the stand at K & S if you are visiting – RCJ7. I will have my new book there

        Best wishes
        Janet
