Thread & Nail Children’s Workshop with Imogen Morris

Imogen creates portraits using nail and thread. Influenced by the traditional craft of hand-embroidery, her style of work puts a contemporary spin on threadwork. Her method of consists of wrapping thread around nails which pinpoint the contours of the face to build up a mesh-like form made up of triangles. Building up layers and layers of these triangles to detail the subjects' features and create depth to the image.

Risk Assessment, DBS, and Public Liability Insurance will be provided.

Cost: £5.98 per child
