Liz Cooksey: Natural Collection workshop

Taking observations from nature we will explore and experiment with an eclectic mix of media, materials and techniques. These explorations will be small scale responses to textures, shapes and colours seen within nature using wrapping and binding techniques with fine hand dyed threads and fabric, hand stitching for embellishment along with fragments of paper & print. These will be combined incorporated with wire to give structure and form and shape. The studies will be brought together to create a formal display suggestive of a nature table or botanical textbook layout. All materials are included but you may wish to bring your own scrap papers, fabrics and haberdashery to personalise your piece.

The workshop is 10 - 4pm
