Refreshments
Tea & coffee is provided throughout the day, with home-made biscuits mid-morning and cake mid-afternoon.
What you need to bring
A packed lunch.
One pre-wrapped polystyrene ball* (so that we can start measuring at the start of the workshop).
* You are advised to use a larger size poly ball as your base - 70mm or 80mm. Although it is possible to work the design using a 60mm ball, it is easier to work on a larger ball. The ball should be wrapped to the cotton stage and be ready for measuring at the start of the workshop.
All other materials and equipment are provided.
N.B. you will be provided with a 60mm poly ball as part of your 'kit'.
About the Workshop
The workshop is limited to 12 persons, some of whom may be continuing to work on different intermediate or advanced temari designs. You will learn to measure out eight 'complex divisions' and work the Double Chrysanthemum design, one Chrysanthemum being effectively worked on top of another. Two different ways to work this design will be shown. There will be a range of coloured threads to choose from. A link to the video tutorial will be e-mailed after the workshop so that the ball can be completed at home. The photo collage below shows completed and part-completed balls from previous workshops.
