RETROSPECTIVE FOUR - ROOSTER RAGS WORKSHOP

On 17 March 2012 our branch met for a workshop entitled 'Rooster Rags' with a well known local textile artist - Viv White. Viv is based in Somerset and regularly exhibits at the Wetlands Visitor Centre on the Somerset Levels. We were all intrigued by the title of the workshop and were certainly in for  treat.  After very clear instructions from Viv, we were let loose with our drawings of hens and roosters, closely followed by cutting and ripping pieces of fabric into strips to apply to our 'fowl' outline and secure with machine stitching: here are the results at the end of the day.
