Tyvek Work

Contemporary machine work (free stitched).

I will help you discover all the possibilities offered by this material.

We will work on Tyvek from A to Z: painting, embroidery, heat transformation and final embellishment.

In the course of this day, you will also find out (via a demonstration) how to use other new products (Angelina fibres, non-woven, etc.).

List of materials

Must be brought with you:

To bring or buy on site in a kit (€15):

Contemporary work with net curtains

Machine work (free stitched)

I will help you use various net curtains in eye-opening ways.

You will see that a simple net curtain (or combination of net curtains) can become a real gem, a piece of work in 3D or a textile showcase.

We will work on them with the machine and cut them with branding irons.

In the course of this day, you will also find out (via a demonstration) how to use other new products, such as thermoformable foam.

List of materials

Must be brought with you:

To bring or buy on site in a kit (€15):

net curtains of various colours, and made of various materials (some will fit, others less so or not at all)
2 pieces of untreated/non-fireproof black felt, 20x20 cm in black or brown
A little Angelina or other very brilliant fibres

Introduction to machine felting and free stitching

I will help you discover machine felting (dry work).

We will work with wool but also other kinds of materials such as organza and laces.

Then we will delve into the foundations of free stitching.

And to bring the two techniques together, we will make a little contemporary or figurative tableau, to suit your taste.
