Take time out to relax and enjoy making something beautiful. Working with stitched paper you will be shown how to construct an oversized paper rose from a simple pattern. Basic materials will be provided, but if you have any particular paper you would like to use (old books, letters or even photocopies) feel free to bring it along, as well as anything you would like to add for extra embellishment such as old buttons, lace or treasured trinkets.

Corinne is a mixed-media textile artist with a background in costume and stage design. She is a member of the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen. Based in the textile studio at Stroud Valleys Artspace, she creates intricately stitched and embellished narrative pieces, exploring themes of freedom and constraint, ritual and romance. A red thread often runs through her work, in which you are likely to encounter paper corsets, caged wings, dancing shoes and roses made from the pages of old fairy tales. Often incorporated are the tools and motifs associated with the age-old practice of making textiles - scissors, spindles, pins and thimbles... She also invents magical textile installations and costumes for performance - pushing the boundaries of textiles through exciting cross-arts collaborations.

Suitable for adults and ages 16+. Tea and coffee included but please bring a picnic lunch. Our base will be the light and airy Walled Garden Pavilion and we’ll keep the doors wide open for fresh air and good ventilation.
