Anni Downs is known for her whimsical embroidery and patchwork designs.
Her unique style marries  naïve stitchery,  applique and piecing to create her signature country/vintage look.  Amitie is thrilled to be hosting Anni for a weekend exploring these techniques and working with her much loved wool and linens.

Ruth de Vos is a textile artist and Illustrator whose incredible patchwork artworks have captured our attention and imagination.  She seamlessly combines her experience as an Illustrator with traditional patchwork methods to create artworks that are a riot of colour and form.  Ruth describes her work as textile paintings which are made from hundreds of small pieces of hand dyed fabric.

Amitie will be hosting Ruth for a 2 day workshop exploring the techniques she uses in her artworks.
