Create a hoop of blossom, using mixed media textile techniques to create a background, then embellish with some basic embroidery stitches.
As blossom season is in full swing, why not celebrated these beautiful blooms.  Spend a day at Debs Studio in the Stables in The Gibside*. After a walk through the beautiful grounds of the Gibside you will hopefully feel inspired to be creative**. The workshop will cover some of the methods Deb uses to create a background for stitch. Then will explore stitching to enhance your “Blossom Hoop”.
All materials will be provided, and the workshop is suitable for all abilities. Numbers are very limited- so this is ideal if you feel you need more assistance with any of the skills involved. Because of the limited places (groups of 3-4 only) the workshop will be repeated over several dates. Dates currently available for booking Thursday 5th May and Saturday 7th May.  Please contact me directly if you want to book a special group session. Booking is essential via Eventbrite search “debcoopertextileart” or “Blossom Celebration with Fabric and Stitch”.                             
​                               Tea and Coffee will be provided.
  • * Debs studio is upstairs and there is at resent no lift / disabled access facilities.
  • **Please note that the Stables is around a 30 min walk from the Gibside Reception and there is no vehicle access beyond the reception car park. We encourage you to enjoy this time being inspired by the surroundings before arriving at the workshop.

Exciting News…..
I am delighted to be able to let everyone know that I am now into my new studio at Gibside (National Trust).  I am upstairs in The Stables, Studio 4- The Old Hayloft. My Studio will be open to visitors every Tuesday and I will be there lots of other days too. If you are a planning a visit on a day other than Tuesday feel free to drop me an email, text or phone call if you want to check if I will be working in the studio that day this is dependent on other work commitments like fairs, workshops, talks etc.).  It’s a fabulously inspiring location and there are plans a foot to develop this area into a thriving creative hub.
I will be running workshops at the Gibside shortly, but in the meantime, I do still have places available for all the workshops at Whalton Manor.

As well as set up my new Studio space I have been busy making for my first fair of the year. I will be a The Biscuit Factory (Newcastle NE2 1AN) this weekend 9th & 10th April. There will be a fantastic line-up of 60 makers, artists and small businesses form the northeast.

I will also be returning to Etal Village Hall for a Tin Shed art fair on Easter Sunday and will be back there for the whole May bank holiday weekend.

Hopefully we will be enjoying some Spring sunshine soon, I know I always feel better when the nights get lighter, and the daffs start to pop up. And for those who celebrate Easter what’s not to love about chocolate eggs and hot cross buns.
Sending you cheerful “Springy” wishes, Deb x
