A new flower making technique will be introduced at this workshop. This technique allow you to make beautiful, realistic looking hand-painted flowers without flower making tools from suede.

Students will go through all the stages of the process of creating flowers from suede. This will include making patterns, dying, assembling and finishing techniques. Particular attention will be devoted to the dying technique.

Students will learn to use Japanese products especially created to use when making flowers using Japanese flower making techniques. They will learn how to work with a wide range of Japanese products.

At the end of class everybody will have beautiful English hand-painted suede rose.

 

The price is $170. It includes the suede for flower making, the dyes that students will apply, Japanese glue and other Japanese materials that the students need for making a suede flower. For my regular students there is a discount off 10%.

The duration of the class is 6 hours. The light lunch will be provided.

Use the wonderful opportunity to learn this special technique! There will be only 3 classes, one on the Gold Coast, 23th May, second one in Melbourne on 7th July and the last one is in the USA, at Millinery Meet Up 2018.
