If members have any of the following, could they please bring a heat gun, a hair dryer and an iron but don't worry if you can't. There is a requirements list below but June is intending to bring enough of the rest of the items, although an apron would probably be a good idea.

This workshop will introduce a wide range of metallic media, including real metal leaf, metallic powders and metallic transfer foil, suitable for use on a variety of textiles and associated surfaces - Lutradur, Tyvek, handmade papers, plastics etc.
Students will learn how to use the different adhesives to attach the metallic media and have the opportunity to explore a variety of techniques to colour and texture the surfaces resulting in more intriguing textures. Experimental use of layering and manipulating will produce a wide collection of dramatic starting points for further embellishment.
Jo brings all the specialist materials for the workshop and there is a material fee of £6 per person.
