Enjoy a morning creating a nature-focused mixed-media collage inspired by the garden, flora and fauna, landscapes, and changing seasons. Choose different textiles, woollen fibres, and found objects, and arrange and apply them to create an A4 or A3 abstracted textural piece or a landscape image.
Emmeline Webb, mixed media artist, will guide you through the process of selecting and curating your artwork, securing your chosen materials with a combination of glue and stitching to complete your piece during this half-day workshop. A selection of Emmeline's hand-painted papers will be available for use, as will fabrics and other collage materials.
Tutor: Emmeline Webb returned to art education as a mature student, gaining a BA (hons) in Illustration from Cambridge School of Art in 2008. Since then, she has been encouraging others to find their artistic voice and benefit from the restorative effects of making art, and she has 15 years of experience teaching art workshops to teens and adults. Emmeline's workshops are suited to all abilities, with an emphasis on relaxation, exploration of art materials and ultimately fun.
