Embroidery Foundation Module
A single Module of study.
This Foundation Module asks the student to work through a series of sequential exercises to give them an idea of the time commitment and work involved within a full Course of six Modules.
Work will be presented in a diary or small notebook. The student is asked to find an interesting surface to study such as a stone wall, that is convenient in a near locality that gives the opportunity to investigate colours, textures, shapes. These are then developed, in easy stages, through paper, colour media into stitched surfaces, concluding in a small stitched panel.
The Foundation Module is approximately half the length of a full course Module and is designed to be completed in three months, half the time required for a single Module of a full Course.
The tutor will be able to advise the student on future courses.
