Patchwork - Make a Beautiful Dresden Plate Panel - Improvers Workshop [SSK]

Course intent

The Dresden Plate is a traditional patchwork / applque block. On this one-day, hands-on workshop, learn the fundamentals of its construction and how to adapt it to create your own individual designs.

What will I learn?

The basic construction of the block will be covered through instruction and demonstrations, plus design tools to allow you to adapt the block [eg changing measurements].

Who is this course for? Is there anything I need to know before joining?

This practical workshop is for people who enjoy sewing and is designed for learners who already have some basic skills.

What do I need to bring to the first class? Will there be any extra costs?

A ‘needs list’ will be sent out before the start of the workshop which will include what you need to bring and where to source fabrics. Some recycled fabrics may be a viable option.

What can I do when I finish the course?

This workshop can be studied in isolation or considered as an introduction into a much larger subject area that makes a creative hobby. Further Patchwork and Quilting courses will be offered throughout the year by Surrey Adult Learning to develop the newly acquired skills and this subject area. Occasional Saturday classes and other Needlecraft classes will also be offered. For further details, please visit our website – www.surreycc.gov.uk/adultlearnng
