Create a mixed media series on wood panels, layered with original papers, dyed fabric, natural elements and ephemera of your choice. You will create original papers to build collage layers that support natural elements such as twigs, bark, stones, feathers, shells and metal. You will explore how fabric and fibres find their place amongst these collaged pieces. You will be encouraged to work intuitively throughout this class as you connect with your inner self and with your materials. You will be encouraged to approach your work with curiosity, exploration and a sense of awe and wonder. Create at your own level and use your own creativity while being gently guided to truly make these pieces unique and authentically yours.
