Jennifer Hughes - Workshop

We were offered a wonderful selection of Thai Ikat silk, cottons and hemp to use for our Thai bags.  To start the workshop Jennifer explained the technique of reverse applique, gave us a detailed handout and suggested various designs we could consider for our bags.

Although we were using the same technique, each person had chosen their own design and different coloured materials so it was interesting to see the varied results.

Jennifer also showed us how to create braids and different types of prairie points to decorate our bags.

To end the day Jennifer showed us how to finish our bag with a lining and how to attach the braids.

Jennifer was a most generous and patient teacher and we thank you for a most enjoyable day.
