Exploring the Natural World with Fabric
A 2-day workshop with Catherine Nicholls
Using the natural world as our source of inspiration, we will experiment on fabric to re-create and interpret nature’s wide range of textures and colours.
On the first day we will explore the use of ink, paint, crayon, and discharge in a variety of technique, creating samples and generating ideas.
On the second day students will be guided through the process of developing their own original composition, pattern, and fibre art masterpiece. Contact Catherine with any questions: [email protected]
