Whether you are working in representational or abstract imagery, your choice of materials informs the ultimate expression of your work. Why do you choose collage over paint for a particular element of a piece? What does stitching add? What associations do we make with fabric rather than paper? In this workshop we will paint, draw, collage, and stitch on paper, canvas, and cardboard, while examining the expressive capacities of each material. You may learn some new techniques, but, more importantly, you will gain a greater sensitivity to the aesthetic choices available to you.
This workshop is for intermediate to advanced students. Whether you are a fiber artist with a little painting experience, or an experienced painter with little or no stitching experience, this course is for you.
