I’m bringing back a version of my ReMemory Landscape workshops next month, in conjunction with the exhibitions at La Pintoresca and Hastings libraries.
Inspired by the idea of the “rememory” as found in Toni Morrison’s Beloved, this workshop shares how to capture the abstract notion of memory through material exploration. Participants will explore how to depict their personal memories of specific landscapes through the use of fabric collage and abstract imagery. We will experiment with color and patterned fabric to create visual depth in composition, as well as invisible stitching techniques to mimic the look of paper collage in fabric applique.
Previous experience with hand sewing is not required, but encouraged.
These workshops are FREE and open to the public.
