Burn your bra! in Lincolnshire

 

It gives me a real thrill when I receive images of pieces started on a workshop with me and then completed afterwards.


Recently I taught the 'Burn Your Bra!' technique to a lovely group in Louth, Lincolnshire. We used nasty old net curtains, nylon lace, and even bits of old underwear to stitch, burn, and colour.


This is the end result by Helen Dickinson who made her piece up into a textured vessel



Helen has added a button/ribbon closing which really enhances the end result. Great colour, texture and form



If you would like to have a go at this fun technique please contact me by email maryelmcintosh@gmail.com to book for your group

Workshop cost for 2025  £225 per day. Maximum of 12.

Workshop cost for 2026 onwards £240 per day
