Hand processing

My second work shop I decided to do was Hand processing because I felt i had a real lack of textiles in my work and wanted to incorporate some of the simple skills that are easily forgotten but always very useful. hand processing is the underlying principle of land stitch which offers a range of different surface techniques. You can transform a simple piece of work by just adding a different type of stitch. The type of thread you use also has a big impact on the final product. You can push the boundaries by using a material that you would not necessarily use.

Here is an example of experimentation with all the different types of stitch, which I can find in my technical file
