Lorraine Turner

Today we are delighted to feature Lorraine Turner – award-winning textile artist, designer, illustrator and author, inspired by the noble intent of safeguarding nature and endangered animals.

After the great success of the past year workshops I held in Italy, I’m so excited to come back again to this adorable Country to teach my fabric collage technique! Here I have made many friends and got to meet interesting inspiring people! I can’t wait to meet more!

I have scheduled 3 workshops – 2 days each – in Perugia, Rome and Milan.

The 1^st event will take place in Perugia, May 18-19. On that occasion, we’ll represent a wolf.

The Rome workshop is scheduled for May 25-26, while the Milan workshop is scheduled for the following weekend (June 1-2). For both events, the subject of choice is a little bunny.

Lorraine’s workshops are specifically designed to make the attendants learn how to create a textile masterpiece starting from a simple photo and combining fabrics, threads and a series of embellishments (laces, vintage doilies and such).

Aurifil will sponsor all events! In addition to offer the threads to sew by hand and machine the artworks at the workshop, each student will receive a complimentary thread gift to bring home.

Lorraine absolutely exceeded our expectations, she patiently taught us new techniques and listened to all of our expressive needs. The results we’ve achieved confirmed this: each flamingo is different from another. The group consisted of people with different skills level. Nevertheless, no one experienced concern nor problems thanks to Lorraine’s detailed explanations and the educational material provided. Being able to pass passion and savoir faire on is art and, as a proof, we unanimously asked her to get back in 2019… [Sophie]
