  Please note that this event is fully booked!   Create, complete, and frame an intimate composition by gathering the found and the given, the old and the new, works of hands and the work of nature. Instruction will be given on how to create a composition involving a wide variety of colours, textures and shapes; how to assemble the juxtaposed materials, and how to embellish the assemblage through stitching with threads and copper wire. You will also be led through the process of finishing, mounting and framing the art piece. Join us for this exciting in-depth workshop. We’ll workshop with instruction and develop ideas during the day, and have open studio time in the evening. This workshop is set up for both beginners and more advanced artists, and is meant to work with participants based on their individual level of expertise or experience. Surprise yourself with possibilities by creating art that speaks of roads travelled and wonder found, art that becomes the keeper of stories. The cost is $325 plus HST.  Payment can be made at the workshop, either in cash, by cheque or eTransfer. If you have any questions about this workshop, please feel free to reach out to me by e-mail. ...

Incorporate fabric transfers of precious photos, and tell a story with the remnants of an heirloom quilt. Create an evocative and exciting composition that combines the work of our hands with that of Mother Nature’s. We will work with a variety of textiles, including remnants of our own stitched, embroidered and embellished work, new fabrics, and found pieces of textiles that catch your...
