Service Description
Autumn Landscapes A Textile Workshop with Dorothy Ronaldson Date: Tuesday 23rd September Time: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM Location: Mill Tye Gallery, Sudbury As the colours shift and the days soften, join us at the Mill for a creative day of slow stitching and rich textures, inspired by the beauty of early autumn. With golden grasses, seed heads, rustling leaves and soft skies reflected in the mill pond, the surrounding landscape offers perfect inspiration. Led by experienced textile artist Dorothy Ronaldson, this workshop focuses on capturing the depth and warmth of autumn using fabric collage and hand embroidery. You’ll learn a range of stitches—bullion and French knots, fly stitch, feather stitch, chain stitch, running stitch, and whipped stitch—to build organic texture and movement in your own stitched landscape. You’ll also experiment with fabric paints and mark-making on a selection of silks and textiles, including gorgeous Sudbury silk, to create a palette of warm ochres, mossy greens, berry reds, and burnished golds. What’s included: - Painted and plain fabrics (mostly silk) - Firm iron-on interfacing - Sheer ribbons - Angelina fibres for texture and shimmer - Embroidery threads (fine perle, stranded, sateen) - Fabric paints, brushes, and droppers What to bring: - Fabric and thread cutting scissors - Medium-size Crewel and Milliners needles (Available locally from Lingards in Sudbury or online.) This workshop is perfect for those with a bit of stitching experience and a love of textiles, colour and seasonal change. You'll leave with a uniquely personal piece and plenty of ideas to explore further. Refreshments: Tea, coffee, and autumnal treats will be provided. Please bring a packed lunch to enjoy by the river or in our gallery space. What to wear: Comfortable clothes or an apron—some painting involved! Access: Please note this workshop is held in the upper gallery, which is not wheelchair accessible. We apologise for any inconvenience. Spaces are limited – advance booking is essential.
