Textiles: recycle fabrics using kantha stitch

All Students:
- Explore Kantha quilting as a method of recycling and reusing a range of materials
- Demonstrate an understanding of the different arrangements of running stitch used in kantha work
- Create and use personal patterns and motifs
- Produce a small quilt or a set of samples

Students with some experience will also:
- Produce quilt or samples exploring a decorative or narrative approach
- Demonstrate a high standard of design and craftsmanship.

Basic materials are provided. However the nature of the course is to recycle your own fabrics that have memories and stories associated with them so please bring your own fabrics to use.
