Workshop: Pattern & Stitch with Jane McKeating

Inspired by pieced work and stitched bandanas in Gawthorpe Textiles Collection, the workshop will focus on the reuse of patterned fabrics with simple hand stitch techniques. Explore how fabrics are pieced and stitched over, transforming them in creative and individual ways. The workshop will look at both abstract patternmaking and figurative detail to suit participants interests.


Jane is a fulltime artist who previously spent 20 years leading the BA(Hons) Embroidery programme, and 10 years as Associate Head of Design at Manchester School of Art.
