First Lutradur Lantern workshop - a success!

 

Video made by Lizzy Curtis showing off her Lutradur Lantern

Although I have been working with Lutradur for many years, and teaching it as part of the Advanced Stitched Textiles course this is the first one day workshop making the Lutradur Lanterns. 

I must acknowledfe Amanda Neville for the idea when she made a tea light holder when we used Lutradur on the Bridging the Gap course in 2024 and, with her permisssion, I 'borrowed' her idea and developed it into a larger version.

The students at the Cosy Cabin workshop created some lovely examples, in lots of different colourways

We first painted papers with transfer dyes and hund them outside to dry

After stitching and colouring with the transfer papers, and foiling to add extra bling, it was time to get out the heat tools

We also used heat guns to burn the lutradur so it opening up into a filigree look surface
