Clematis Creations: Inktense on Fabric Workshop
Turn colouring into vibrant fabric art in this fun, hands-on workshop. Using Inktense pencils, you will create clematis flowers and leaves, then activate them with liquid to achieve rich, painterly shading on fabric.
Learn simple techniques for realistic colouring, layering, and blending before cutting out your finished designs to use as appliqués in quilts, garments, or mixed-media projects.
Suitable for all levels—come ready to experiment, play with colour, and leave with a beautiful custom fabric block.
