Framework Collage Workshop with Jenny Stevenson

We are delighted to welcome back mixed-media artist Jenny Stevenson to the Framework Knitters Museum, with this new and bespoke workshop for the autumn season.

Participants have the opportunity to create a mixed-media collage inspired by Ruddington’s framework knitting and stocking industry. Using a wooden frame and pieces of knitted sock or tights as a base, you’ll build a layered collage using fabric, paper, thread and other materials. Add stitching and details inspired by the patterns, machinery and materials of the industry. You’ll have the freedom to develop your own design within the framework provided, adding stitching and other details to create a unique piece to take home.

To provide additional inspiration, at the start of the workshop at 12.30pm participants will be given a short tour of the Framework Knitters Museum, with particular focus on the frames and their materials.

The workshop is suitable for adults and older teens and some basic sewing experience is recommended. All materials will be provided.
