New Year, New Workshops: Textile Flowers
Anne Tomlin, teacher of our upcoming Textile Flowers online workshop on Saturday 25 & Sunday 26 May 2024, has a first-class degree in Textiles from UCA Farnham. She then studied Millinery at The London College of Fashion. Anne now specialises in studying flowers and capturing their detail using silk and paper clay and both French and Japanese tools with techniques she has developed over many years. Teaching is important to her in passing on skills she has acquired and continuing her quest to raise awareness of the natural world and the importance of bio-diversity, so evident in her complex, detailed studies of flowers.
Anne now works to commission and collaborates with designers, artists and museums as well as developing her own work for exhibitions. Her book ‘Making Silk Flowers” is to be published at the end of October.

In her workshop, you will learn how to make all the elements of a silk abaca rose based on the David Austin rose, ‘The Lady’s Blush.’ Anne will show you how to make a beautiful, realistic flower, including making your own stamens and shaping petals. Although she will talk you through how she uses specialist flower tools, this rose is made without them.
