Combine collage, mixed media and stitching to create engaging images with depth, texture and life.

This one day workshop is from 10am-3pm and is suitable for beginners and students with more experience. Our focus will be selecting, placing and layering collage material to build up imagery with interest. We will also incorporate slow hand stitching to add texture and accentuate our imagery.
