Wool & Fibre Weekend: Mixed Media Textile Collage

---

Enjoy a morning creating mixed media abstracts. Choose different textiles, woollen fibres and found objects, arrange and apply them to create an abstracted textural piece or a landscape image, inspired by the flowers and foliage growing at RHS Rosemoor. Emmeline Webb, mixed media artist, will guide you through the process of selecting and curating your artwork, securing your chosen materials using a combination of glue and stitching to complete your finished piece during this half day workshop.

• 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 has 15 years of experience teaching art workshops to teen and adults. Emmeline's workshops are suited to all abilities, with an emphasis on relaxion, exploration of art materials and ultimately fun.
• Location and arrival information: The workshop will take place mostly in the Peter Buckley Learning Centre, with some time also spent outside in the Garden. Please allow 15 minutes to park in the main visitor car park, enter the garden and get to the Learning Centre.
