VENUE: Bukeshla Private Studio, Fremantle, Perth, WA.

Join me for a lovely three days collaging and stitching with a generous selection of beautiful vintage textiles.

Over the three days we’ll explore how to take the vintage textiles, trims and treasures we adore and turn them into a beautiful slow stitched art piece.

During our time together we will work on textile & thread selection, composition and design and use a variety of stitches to embellish and celebrate the beauty of our selected textiles.

You’ll be able to create a number of mini research vignettes or a larger collage to continue with as an ongoing project.

My teaching style is relaxed and kind with generous knowledge sharing and support.

This workshop is ideal for anyone who loves to stitch or is newer to stitching and would like to explore some more.

I am able to work with mixed experience level groups and will have time to share techniques with the group and on a one on one basis so that I can support you to meet your creative goals no matter your experience level.

More about my teaching philosophy and the week’s workshop…

My goal is to meet you where you are at as an individual creative and support you to grow gently but surely towards joyful mark making using my favourite techniques.

I facilitate a safe and welcoming environment for anyone joining my workshops, my teaching style is warm and relaxed. My intuition for the process and working with fellow creative souls is strong. I aim to adjust my approach for individuals as well as each group to ensure that no matter your learning style or experience level you feel embraced and supported to fully explore your creative potential.

I'll openly share my process.

During the three days we will cover off all of the key elements of the process so you have the practical skills to create with joy but also bring those skills together into either a small finished stitched artwork or a larger ongoing project (your choice depending on what size you'd like to work with).

Generous supplies are offered that you are gifted to take home with you to continue creating whenever you like using all of my favourite tools from beautiful hand dyed wools, specially selected vintage textiles and so much more.

Stitching is a slow practice so we will embrace that pace and while we're in slow down mode there will also be lazy lunches, time for a wander and a quiet cuppa and chats with your fellow work-shoppers or for those who are just obsessed there's the option to create and eat and deep dive.

It's your time to do as you please with generous knowledge sharing and support.

Here’s a bit more about me incase you’d like to share this experience with a friend who doesn’t know my work…

Fleur Woods is a Contemporary Embroidery artist based in rural South Island, Aotearoa New Zealand.  Fleur's intricate, joyful stitched paintings are coveted and collected around the world. Featured in many, many magazines and exhibited from her local gallery in rural NZ to the Lower East side NY. Whilst prioritising studio practice Fleur also adores teaching and selects beautiful locations to teach her sought after workshops in both New Zealand and Australia. As a largely self taught artist Fleur's processes are unique, free and playful. She embraces colour and texture and prioritises joy in the process.

Inspired by nature, country gardens, wild flowers, native bush and all things flora Fleur brings her passion for the outdoors into the classroom encouraging students to take time to notice the beautiful details in nature and bring this into their work. A natural collaborator Fleur's approach to teaching is one of working in small groups to enable participants to follow their individual creative goals, so while the workshop will have themes and technical elements that are offered for group learning there is plenty of one on one support available to meet you where you are at and help you progress to the next level.
