Collage – “A piece of art made by sticking various different materials such as photographs and  pieces of paper or fabric onto a backing,” Webster Dictionary. 

From working with treasured textiles, favorite fabrics and embroidery stitches, to the process of  constructing artwork intuitively and mindfully, textile collage is a great way to develop your own artistic voice. 

You might have collected fabrics and threads, hoops and needles, dyes and paints, artist books and kits. You’ve dipped into lots of different textile art mediums but you want to develop your own authentic style. Textile collage is a great technique to help you achieve this. You can create a collage to suit your personality and passions. Collage is  liberating, “arranging things to explore the juxtaposition of color, tone and pattern.” 

In this workshop, we will begin by looking at a variety of collages to become inspired on ways to layer and enhance collage work. Then we will begin to create two collages – the first will be a 

predetermined collage in a kit form that I will provide. The second collage will be your own design.
