Hexagon Nature Panel Workshop with Louise Nichols on Saturday 22nd May 2027

Hexagon Nature Panel with Louise Nichols

Saturday 22nd May 2027 – 10 – 4pm – £80 – On this workshop there will be two different sizes of hexagon printed background panels for you to choose from and use for the base of your collage. You will then choose from a selection of small printed designs including bees, dragonflies, birds, flowers & cow parsley, all printed in a variety of colours and ready to arrange into a design of your choice. You will spend the day embellishing the prints and panel, adding extra felt, fabric, beads, lace etc. if you wish.

Louise will demonstrate the method, stitches and process used to create her panels which have all been stitched completely by hand, but you could add decorative stitching using a sewing machine if you prefer.

Louise will bring along all the prints and materials needed on the day. There will also be a selection of threads and felt to use if you wish.

The printed backgrounds will need to be purchased at an extra cost and they measure:

Large approx. 30cm x 30cm – £10.00

Small approx. 16cm x 16cm – £4.00

Individual small prints – 50p each.

If you do not want to purchase a background you can applique the small prints onto a piece of fabric of your choice and make the collage as large or small as you like.

Louise will bring along all the materials and threads needed on the day, which will be available to purchase, but you are also welcome to bring along your own you if so wish. Also, do not forget Poppy Patch have a beautiful collection of threads ❤️
