Online Workshops

As an artist, you are the seeker of creativity, you know that your art practise adds passion, excitement, wonderment and yes, sometimes frustration and discouragement to your life.

In a world that makes so many demands on our daily lives, it can be challenging to carve out those blocks of time to make the art that makes us whole.

Have you considered a dedicated and focused time that would provide an opportunity to discover innovative and fresh new pathways into your art? Perhaps there’s an idea that keeps calling to you or a variation of your current work that you are wanting to explore? Maybe its something that’s so different and “not you” that you’re shying away?

Join me in an exciting workshop where we explore and create a variety of mixed media books, scrolls and folios. Learn to combine cloth and paper in many forms by using paints, inks, threads and more to create a personal narrative that is as unique and important as you, the artist.

Explore the wonderful nuanced shades of neutrals you can achieve with black, grey and brown. Your personal colour palette will be enhanced with the addition of the warm / cool values and you will learn about the different colour casts of a variety of blacks.

This exciting workshop has been developed for quilters, stitchers, mixed media artists and everyone in between. You will learn basic colour mixing theory using Procion MX dyes. Then make simple colour gradations, colour to colour runs and develop a range of fabrics and threads using a planned palette showing value, tints and shades.

You will learn how to prepare threads for dyeing by skeining and tying to keep them from tangling, what fabrics to use for dyeing and easy ways to rinse and wash your fabrics. Dye recipes and excellent written step by step instructions will be provided and there will be a focus on safe studio habits.

In this workshop we will use a variety of methods to create marks on both paper and fabric. Using unusual tools, inks and paints we explore line, pattern and composition that we can use as personal symbols and our own unique language. We can combine this work with other fabrics and papers for presentation as books, work for further exploration or as finished pieces.
