Meredith Woolnough Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

Meredith is back to run another great workshop at Making Zen Online Retreat. In the previous retreat workshop participants learnt to use her freeform sewing machine technique for a way to use threads and water soluble fabric. This year, Meredith will share her preparation process with participants through drawing.

Meredith began her work during her Fine Arts degree in 2006 and participants will take away another skill to use on their own projects from the latest Making Zen Online Retreat.

Her focus on free hand embroidery on water soluble fabric is what motivates her creativity and is another skill you can explore to add from this latest retreat. She has a degree in Natural History Illustration that is reflected in the workshop she is running this year.
