Tutor Details 1501  Peta  McMillan:  Peta  is  a  well  known  member  of  the  Whakatane  Embroiderers’  Guild  who  has  travelled  around  New  Zealand  teaching  embroidery  for  over  twenty  years.  She  has  focused  on  unusual  techniques,  reviving  some  and  bringing  them  into  our  modern  world.  Peta  has  had  many  articles  published  in  embroidery  magazines,  and  is  the  author  of  books  and  folders  on  Snutki  and  Kalocsa  embroidery.  Her  main  focus  and  love  is  in  the  traditional  techniques.  

1502  Alison  Wilson:  I  am  passionate  about  colour  and  stitching,  and  love  to  share  my  enthusiasm.      I  love  playing  with  texture  and  colour,  and  find  canvas  work  is  ideal  for  experimenting  in  these  areas.    I  completed  City  and  Guilds  Part  1  in  design  and  embroidery,  as  well  as  a  NZ  Certificate  in  Craft  Competency  in  Machine  Embroidery.    I  have  taught  throughout  NZ  and  at  ANZEG  Conferences,  as  well  as  at  Guilds.  

1503  Jeanette  Trotman:  Jeanette  is  interested  in  colour  and  design.    She  teaches  at  Otago  Guild  and  at  Wanaka  Embroidery  School.    Jeanette  has  judged  both  at  conference  and  locally  and  gained  level  three  City  and  Guilds  Diploma  in  embroidery  and  design.    Many  of  her  exhibition  pieces  involve  dyeing,  printing  and  layering,  which  are  then  integrated  by  surface  stitching.  

1504  Sarah  Hooker:  Many  years  retailing  embroidery  and  patchwork  supplies  in  Wellington  gave  me  the  opportunity  to  explore  all  fields  of  contemporary  and  traditional  hand  and  machine  stitching.  After  selling  the  business  in  2006,  I  decided  my  love  was  teaching  surface  stitching  and  canvas  work  with  an  emphasis  on  students  creating  their  own  original  work  by  creatively  using  the  simplest  stitches.  

1505  Kay  Hawker:  Kay  has  a  relaxed  and  enjoyable  teaching  style.    Canvas  work  is  one  of  her  favourites  and  she  loves  the  use  of  colour.    Kay  has  taught  at  the  Wanaka  and  Westport  Schools,  has  been  a  guild  member  since  1987  of  three  guilds  and  holds  a  certificate  in  Canvas  work.    

1506  Patricia  Davis:  Patricia  is  classically  trained  in  all  the  traditional  embroidery  techniques  and  has  a  background  in  design  work,  architecture,  landscape  design,  pottery  design,  interior  work,  drawing  and  textile  conservation.  Patricia  has  extensive  experience  with  teaching  for  ANZEG  and  in  Australia.  Her  work  has  been  frequently  exhibited  and  she  has  published  articles,  reviews  and  critiques  in  Australian  magazines.  

1507  Helen  Packer:      A  retired  school  teacher,    having  taught  in  both  primary  and  secondary  schools.  Have  taught  embroidery  in  secondary  schools,  embroidery  guild,  and  for  many  years  at  the  Wanaka  Embroidery  weekend,  and  at  several  classes  at  patchwork/  embroidery  shops.    For  15  years  I  designed,  and  trained  to  do,  the  embroidery  for  Tamahine  Knitwear  Company.    Attended  night  classes  for  2  years  at  Dunedin  Technical  School,  and  1  year  at  Glasgow  school  of  art.  

1508  Anne  Bell:  Ann  has  worked  with  all  forms  of  fibre  from  a  very  early  age,  knitting,  crocheting,  tatting,  pattern  making  and  dressmaking  and  later  learning  spinning  weaving  and  dyeing.    Over  the  last  few  years  Ann  has  been  able  to  take  time  to  explore  more  creative  directions  incorporating  paper  and  paints,  using  all  the  skills  learned  in  the  past  and  uses  all  these  skills  to  teach  others.  Anne’s  work  has  been  widely  exhibited  in  Australia  and  New  Zealand  and  she  has  taught  bookbinding  throughout  NZ.  

1509  Gaynor  Chronican:  Gaynor  is  a  member  of  the  Otago  Embroiderers  Guild  (Dunedin)  and  has  been  teaching  embroidery  techniques  in  the  Otago  region  and  further  afield  over  the  past  decade.  Gaynor  has  gained  considerable  experience  attending  master  classes  with  a  range  of  international  embroiderers.  Whilst  she  enjoys  all  types  of  embroidery,  raised  work  is  a  particular  favourite.

1501: Peta McMillian – Kalocsa Embroidery Lace and Flowers

Kalocsa  is  a  colourful  Hungarian  technique,  now  worked  on  computerised  sewing  machines  for  the  tourist  market  with  only  the  satin  stitch  part  done  by  hand.  

 In  this  class  you  will  learn  how  to  make  the  lace  by  hand  and  execute  good  satin  stitch.    

As  many  colours  are  used,  a  kit  will  be  provided  to  save  students  having  to  buy  a  ball  of  each  colour  and  only  using  a  small  amount.  No  pre-­‐‑class  work  necessary.  

 This  class  will  suit  intermediate  to  advanced  embroiderers.  Kit  cost:  $12  includes  notes,  threads,  fabric,  crewel  needles  and  gimp.  

 

1502: Alison Wilson – Canvas Work Needlepoint bands

The  finished  embroidered  bands  could  be  inserted  into  a  cushion  or  bag,  or  a  box  top,  or  used  as  a  sampler.      

We  will  try  some  colour  experimenting  –  as  Constance  Howard  said,  “let’s  see  what  some  DMC  995  will  do!”      

I  will  provide  two  sets  of  stitches,  which  can  be  used  in  two  separate  cushions,  or  combined  into  one.    

Suitable  for  all  levels  of  experience.  Notes:  $4.50

1503: Jeanette Trotman – Dorset Buttons “I do Buttony"

In  this  class  we  will  make  three  different  types  of  Dorset  ring  buttons:  the  Crosswheel,  the  Basket,  and  the  Flower  buttons.      We  start  by  making  the  Crosswheel  button,  learning  casting,  slicking,  laying  and  rounding.      

  When  the  practice  buttons  are  completed,  participants  can  choose  to  make  a  pair  of  cuff  links,  a  scissor  keep,  or  continue  making  variations  of  the  designs  for  a  small  wall  hanging.      

Each  button  is  made  on  a  2.5cm  brass  curtain  ring.    These  are  imported  from  Shaftesbury  in  Dorset,  England.        

Some  experience  of  embroidery  would  be  useful.    The  cost  will  be  $5.00  for  five  rings.    

 

1504: Sarah Hooker – Creative Stitching Cottage Garden Doorstop

A  free-­‐‑style  cottage  garden  is  started  with  an  emphasis  on  using  easy  embroidery  stitches  creatively.    

This  is  a  fun  class  for  beginners  who  would  like  to  learn  a  number  of  stitches  and  more  advanced  students  will  enjoy  working  without  a  pattern.  

Create  a  practical  doorstop  for  the  home.  Students  will  be  introduced  to  basic  embroidery  stitches  that  are  mixed  to  create  a  pretty,  cottage  garden  effect.  

The  doorstop  construction  process  will  be  demonstrated  and  students  will  leave  the  class  with  the  confidence  to  complete  the  work  at  home.  Students  may  prefer  to  use  this  technique  to  start  a  bag,  cushion  or  wall  hanging.  

Suitable  for  all  levels.  Notes  with  photos,  full  stitching  and  construction  instructions  provided  at  no  charge.

1505: Kay Hawker – Canvas Work Geometric Symmetry

This  is  a  charted  design  that  includes  the  use  of  'ʹJean  Hilton'ʹs  stitches’,  which  can  be  utilised  by  a  beginner  through  to  a  more  experienced  embroiderer.    One  quarter  of  the  design  will  be  taught  and  all  information  will  be  in  the  instruction  

booklet.    Although  this  is  a  charted  design,  there  will  be  choices  with  different  arrangements  of  the  elements  and  borders.  The  photo  shows  one  choice.    

   

The  sample  piece  is  achieved  by  spray  painting  gold  onto  18  count  canvas  and  the  threads  used  are  a  rayon  and  metallic  with  one  strand  being  used  throughout.  The  design  is  26cm  long  and  21.5cm  wide  and  it  can  be  framed,  used  for  a  box  top,  or  a  book  cover.    There  will  also  be  an  opportunity  to  learn  how  to  colour  the  canvas  to  match  a  multi-­‐‑coloured  thread.            Suitable  for  all  levels  of  experience.  Instruction  booklet:    $10.00  

1506: Patricia Davis – Art Needlework Leek Embroidery from Staffordshire

Developed  in  1860  by  embroiderers  and  artists  in  the  village  of  Leek,  as  a  reaction  against  Berlin  wool  work  coloured  with  chemical  dyes  and  other  imported  goods.    

Workshop  participants  can  choose  from  several  designs,  the  photo  shows  an  Arts  &  Crafts  style  sample  and  a  floral  sample.  There  will  be  other  designs  available,  some  in  the  church  or  civic  style.    

This  embroidery  uses  a  selection  of  colours  of  stranded  cotton  thread  worked  on  a  closely  woven  background,  outlined  in  gold  thread,  typically  in  stylised  floral  motifs.    

The  small  floral  spray  makes  a  picture  or  the  centre  of  a  cushion.  The  more  heraldic  pattern  makes  a  sumptuous  cushion.    Suitable  for  all  levels;  no  charge  for  notes.

1507: Helen Packer – Embroidery on Silk Medieval Miniatures

Stitch  a  miniature  scene  using  figures  from  a  variety  of  medieval  illustrations.  Students  will  choose  their  own  motifs  from  supplied  ideas  for  figures,  backgrounds,  plants  and  animals  that  often  appear  in  medieval  tapestries.  Works  are  carried  out  on  silk  and  use  a  single  strand  of  DMC  stranded  cotton.  

The  stitches  in  themselves  are  very  basic,  but  it  is  more  a  matter  of  technique  and  learning  different  methods.  Just  because  the  stitching  is  very  fine  it  doesn'ʹt  mean  it  is  very  difficult.  The  stitched  areas  in  the  pictured  samples  are  approx.    10  x  7cm.  

Suitable  for  intermediate  to  advanced  stitchers;  good  eyesight  or  magnifying  glasses  may  help.    

Kit  provided  with  the  silk  fabric,  backing,  threads  in  medieval  colours,  a  variety  of  designs  and  ideas  -­‐‑  $25  

1508: Anne Bell – Concertina Books Fun with the Concertinas

Spend  the  weekend  making  a  number  of  samples  showing  the  use  of  the  concertina.      

Potential  versions  are  a  four  layered  star  concertina,  a  gallery,  a  dos  a  dos,  a  tunnel  book  and  others  that  can  display  samples  or  photos.    

Sample  books  are  A6  but  the  methods  can  be  used  to  make  all  sizes  of  books.  

Suitable  for  all  levels  of  experience.  Kit  cost:  $8.00

1509: Gaynor Chronican – Tassels Fun with Tassels

This  will  be  a  fun  class  where  you  will  be  creating  your  own  tassel,  based  around  wooden  forms.  These  are  the  type  used  as  curtain  tiebacks,  around  20cm  long.      

Over  the  two  days  we  will  cover  the  wooden  shapes,  make  our  own  cords,  skirt  and  various  types  of  embellishments  to  decorate  your  tassel.    

Your  tassel  will  be  unique  as  you  will  choose  and  make  your  own  decoration.    I  will  also  include  more  simple  tassels  suitable  for  embellishing  your  future  embroidery  projects.  

The  class  is  suitable  to  all  levels  of  embroidery  experience  and  skill  and  there  is  no  pre-­‐‑class  preparation  required.    

There  will  be  a  selection  of  wooden  forms  available  for  purchase  ($7.50-­‐‑$12.00)  or  participants  are  very  welcome  to  bring  their  own.      

Suitable  for  intermediate  and  above.      

Location of WAW All  WAW  classes  are  held  at  Waimea  College,  60  Salisbury  Rd,  Richmond.
