Members of STARS (formerly Suffolk West Emb Guild) and guests took part in a zoom workshop to make Thread Bowls. Many were new to using soluble film and to free motion machine embroidery. Each person used the same taught techniques but worked in their own chosen colourway. The results are great.

"My attempt a a seaweed looking rock pool. Thank you Mary for the workshop and an opportunity to develop this into more fun work"
Jane Kelly used the pack of materials supplied in the green/gold colourway to make this super bowl.

Jane says:
"I love how all the bowls are different. Love this technique, I am going to make lots of small ones as gifts"

Sue says:
" I just wanted to thank you for such a lovely workshop. I was a little uncertain as to whether I would be able to keep up in a real time on-line workshop, but your pace of delivery of each stage was so well-timed.
By the end of the workshop I felt confident to finish my bowl, that I had worked quite hard, but had a really fun day and was buzzing with what I achieved"
More bowls to follow in the next blog post. If you would like to learn the Thread Bowls technique I offer it as an online zoom workshop or a face-to-face workshop for groups.
