Discover the wonderful possibilities of Derwent Inktense pencils as you transform a printed image of an apple and its leaves into a richly coloured piece of textile art. Inktense pencils offer intense, luminous colour and a wonderful range of possibilities for working on fabric.

In this hands-on class, Ana will demonstrate a variety of techniques for working with Inktense on fabric, from creating delicate washes of colour to building deeper, more vibrant layers. You’ll experiment with colour and discover how to bring the design to life.

Once the painting is complete, we’ll add simple hand stitches to enhance the image, introduce texture and detail, and give the finished piece that special textile quality. No previous experience with Inktense or embroidery is necessary—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to play with colour, fabric and stitch.
