Wet Felting Workshops
In 2021 I was thrilled to receive a Creative Scotland award. This will allow me to develope my own creative practice as well as introduce wet felting workshops. This year I am excited to offer a nuno felted scarf and a wet felted Landscape/ seascape option.
Hope Jacare 2D/3D Needle-Felting workshops
Join us in the studio for a 2hr workshop to create a landscape, seascape or floral picture to take home. 3D gnomes also available.
Mixed Media Textiles workshop dates
Mixed media workshops were a huge hit in 2021. It's a fun day and I hope leaves you wanting to create more mixed media textiles pieces. We start the day with dyeing, paper decoration and ideas for making embellishments. Then onto creating an individual piece after lunch. New For 2022 we will be using handmade watercolour paints.
Hope Jacare Creativity packs
We find vintage and new treasures to combine with hand dyed elements into inspirational packs that we hope will inspire your creativity.
Hope Jacare hand-dyed silk
I love to dye silk fibres and fabrics, both new and vintage. We normally carry a range of hand-dyed and natural silk top, lap, hankies, caps, brick, noils, filature, de-gummed cocoons, mulberry cocoons, eri cocoons, threads, yarns and various weights and textures of fabrics. These are all great for adding texture to felt-making, spinning and embroidery.
Our very own "Hope Jacare"kits
From years working as a designer for greetings cards I have a huge range of designs that I wished to try as needle-felting kits. Also keen with many of them to add on extra embellishment through stitching and beads.
Current work that I am exploring.
I am thrilled to have been awarded a Creative Scotland grant to further explore the work i started for the "Elements" exhibition at the Barony, Craft Town Scotland this year.
