Winter Words comes to FABRIK with the following artist book workshop.

Compose and collage your unique text and image-based maze book with artist Barbara Millward.

This is a perfect way to unlock any writers block you may have or when you are feeling a little stuck creatively.

Barbara will show you several ways to make your maze book usings collage techniques and materials. Then finding words that personally resonate, you will add text – which is either found, stamped or handwritten. This is all about playful exploration.
