March 2024 – Workshop led by Sheila Mortlock in Penicuik
Twelve members of EDGE Textile Artists Scotland took part in a two-day weekend workshop, Printed Layers for Stitch. The group participants experimented with Gelli printing using acrylic paints with fabric medium, alongside various print blocks, stencils and Thermofax plates. Artworks were developed from these using techniques including deconstruction, appliqué, collage and stitch.
