About this Event
Everyone has a story to tell. But some are not so good at traditional story telling. So why not tell your tale in a different way? And lets face it after this past year have we not all got something to say?
Using found objects, fabric scraps, old books and magazines we will create a unique Story Tin. Stitching them together to tell a tale.
The workshop, led by Jane Grimshaw, is a friendly and informal place for everyone from the novice stitcher to the seriously obsessed. We chat, we laugh, we make connections and have fun whilst creating story tins that will be the envy of the modern world.
Jane is highly trained in the art of wielding needles and pins. She comes from a long line of tailors that goes back three centuries. When not delivering online sewing workshops to the discerning masses, Jane makes costumes for stage productions in London’s glamorous West End, for the likes of the Phantom of the Opera and Lion King. You’ll also have seen her work on many films and television series. Teaching is in Jane’s blood: she has taught pattern cutting and costume construction in higher education for more than 25 years.
