Workshops Overview
 Barbara has been successfully running workshops for over ten years, and is continually developing new activities as her work evolves. She encourages students to bring their own ideas and inspiration, so that they can create an individual piece of work whilst learning new and innovative techniques that they can continue to devlop at home.

Mosaics in Fabric
 Learn to fragment an image or design and work a mosaic in bonded applique. Students are encouraged to bring their own inspiration to develop the technique after learning the basics. Students can choose to spend the day designing and bonding different projects, or can concentrate on machine quilting and finishing a single project. This workshop features techniques used in Barbara's 'Barcelona!', 'Prague' and 'Verulamium' quilts.
