PROCESSES
I offer both public and private specialist workshops exploring the basics of monoprint, collage, textile upcycling and mending.
My workshops are aimed at beginners or anyone looking for an opportunity to let go of their usual creative expectations. As a workshop facilitator and participatory artist, I encourage creative play and experimentation, supporting fun-filled workshops without the usual pressures of getting it "right".
Monoprint & Collage
Monoprint is fast-paced and experimental. Collage is slow-paced and considered. We start by making monoprint textures and then use these textures to make collage artworks full of colour, texture and joy. Please be aware that although I use some elements of traditional monoprint, I have adapted the process significantly to achieve a unique aesthetic, this adapted process is what you will learn.
Textile Upcycling and Mending
Textile Upcycling: creating textile artwork using second-hand materials donated by the community: weaving, apllique/ textile collage & hand-embroidery.
. Mending Workshops: learning basic visible mending techniques (hand-sewing) to repair and give new life to your clothes, using second-hand materials donated by the community.
My workshops are well organised and informative to ensure that those who want to continue
practicing the processes at home can do so with confidence.
If you are interested in booking me for a workshop or have any questions, please get in touch.
