DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Blackwork/Scarletwork is a week-long (5 day) workshop that focuses on blackwork &amp; scarletwork embroidery as an experimental method of contemporary mark-making. The names blackwork &amp; scarletwork come from the colour of the thread: blackwork is when black thread stitched on usually a white or neutral surface, often by a process involving counting the threads of the surface fabric; and scarletwork refers to the use of red thread.</p>=0D=0A=
<p>This workshop focuses on small individual blackwork &amp; scarletwork pieces that could contribute to a larger collaborative work. Invited guest artists working with contemporary craft and embroidery will give short presentations during the workshop for a source of inspiration. Topics covered in the workshop include: the history of blackwork embroidery, basic blackwork and scarletwork techniques, exploration of experimental techniques and introduction to artists working in contemporary embroidery. No sewing experience necessary.</p>=0D=0A=
