Discover the Art of Quilting – SOLD OUT

The Course

Quilting has been used for thousands of years to add extra warmth, protection and decoration to clothing and household items. Simple in concept, yet amazingly versatile, spend the day learning simple techniques including shadow, corded and stuffed quilting (also known as boutis or Marseille and trapunto) in a relaxed and informal setting, gaining an appreciation of the versatility of the craft. Quilting lends itself to everything from clothing to Christmas tree decorations.

The Tutor

Charlotte Dawber trained as a teacher of dress and textiles, specialising in embroidered and printed textiles and theatrical costume, and is a qualified teacher in the Adult Learning and Skills sector.

She focused my early career on historic textiles, gaining first a teaching qualification and undertaking study at Bath Museum of Costume, with a dissertation on Venetian Lace, a M.Litt in Gallery Studies with a thesis looking at Early English Domestic Embroideries, and a Ph.D in Art History looking at the impact of religion on costume and textiles.
