What to expect
For 6 weeks from 5 August to 12 September we are exploring using paper to create effects and as a medium for stitch. We will create gorgeous textured and coloured papers, in a variety from art papers, photographic papers, book papers, wrapping papers and more. We will colour, distress, reassemble and stitch to make surfaces to use in your artworks. Begin by creating a folio of experimental samples, then combine your new skills with other materials and techniques such as stitching by hand and by machine to create a unique mixed media and textile artwork. The classes are led by Alysn Midgelow-Marsden, an internationally experienced artist and teacher. Anyone with an enthusiasm for textile and mixed media arts, from beginners, improvers and experienced alike are invited to book and join in with what Alysn warns ‘may become the start of an obsession’! You will learn to view almost anything as a creative tool, including a sewing machine and candles. You will learn using experimental, inclusive approaches, be guided in techniques and design skills and begin to develop your own personal style. Details of what you need to bring will be sent to you after you book, you will only need a few basics. Most materials and equipment are provided. Sessions will be held at the Rothesay Rooms in the East Coast Bays Community Rooms, Glen Road. Browns Bay. This a very spacious room giving plenty of space for us all to be creative. Once you have paid the fees are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If there are less than 5 participants booked on the course 7 days before the start date Alysn reserves the right to cancel the sessions in which case you will be refunded.
