Organza Flowers By Claire Muir

 WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?

The course is for people who can free machine embroider.  A qualification in embroidery is not required but students do need to have had a go at free machine embroidering more than once.

WHAT IS THE COURSE ABOUT?

The course is about making individual flowers by embroidering petals on synthetic organza, cutting them out with a soldering iron and assembling them together using beautiful beads and crystals.   Samples will be shown and techniques clearly demonstrated allowing everyone to make their own personalised creations

WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED?

Students will learn how to create their flowers out of layers of organza and experiment with the  different effects that can be achieved when a variety of  fabrics are sandwiched  in between the layers of organza.  These flowers can be used to adorn garments, bags or attached to combs and slides and worn in the hair.  The same technique can be used to create leaves, butterflies and dragonflies.
