Saturday 21 September 2019
10 am - 3 pm
at the Old Post Office Store, Upper Moutere
This workshop is designed to explore your creativity and thriftiness to create an original artwork. Basic stitching techniques using embroidery cottons are taught along with the principles of collage. The workshop is suitable for everyone from experienced textile artists to beginners. As long as you're happy welding needle and thread you'll be ready to collage. I will share with you knowledge that I have gained from years of using collage techniques with my painting practice, textiles and photography.
My practice is based on reusing, recycling and reviving textiles, so you'll get to dive into my large suitcase of scraps! I'll also provide embroidery cottons and wool blanket scraps for working on. Participants are free to bring sentimental pieces of textiles, linen, heirlooms to incorporate into their own piece.
Workshop cost $80 for the day, most materials are provided.

Collage with Acrylic Painting Workshop
Collage is a great technique for finding your creativity, planning paintings, moving through artistic blocks or just to have fun. Over the day I will lead you through creating images using gelli-printing with acrylic paint, combining these with found papers.
The workshop is designed to give you the tools to use collage with your acrylic paintings, but is also suitable for complete beginners. If you can cut, rip and glue, you can collage.
I will share with you knowledge that I have gained from years of using collage techniques with my painting practice, textiles and photography.
Abstract Painting on Paper Workshop
Come and enjoy the freedom and creativity of abstract painting at one of my one day workshops. It doesn't matter if abstract painting is not your normal style, or if you are a beginner, as this workshop is designed to be liberating and creative for everyone.
I will share with you knowledge that I have gained from years of painting on paper in different mediums and styles. The workshop is for acrylic paints due to time and space constraints. I will supply mixed media paper, gesso and masking tape. A list of things to bring will be provided.
