Workshop on the Web Taster

Workshop on the Web is a quarterly publication that is only available on the internet. It features the very best tutors from all points of the compass, with step-by-step workshops showing details of techniques. These include hand and machine stitching, surface decoration, innovation in all its forms and make a point of showing how to work with new materials. Mixed media and paper arts are also included.

After this introductory issue, the workshop articles and the reviews will be password controlled. Your subscription brings you the password. A subscription costs only £20.00 (British pounds) for a whole year. (Click the subscribe now button for equivalents in other currencies.) Each issue (there are four each year) has at least seven complete workshops and an interview, in addition to the features listed above.

Have a look at them all but, perhaps, click on the pic to start with the workshop tasters below.
Note that the Product Reviews were based on those published in the June 2012 issue and the News & Views and Books were in the last issue.

Lynda Monk's new book, 'Exploring Creative Surfaces', continues the d4daisy Workshop series - books with loads of ideas that are based on one particular technique or material. The books are very well priced, especially when they all include a series of free on-line classes to take the techniques in them even further. The books and lessons consider the fact that we can't afford to buy lots of expensive materials and suggest ways of making a little go a long way. Lynda's 'Exploring Creative Surfaces' book demonstrates some great ideas for truly creative surfaces that require the minimum of materials to achieve the maximum WOW factor.
