Lost and Found workshop with Sarah Burgess - 8 May

This was a wonderful and stimulating workshop with Sarah Burgess, where we printed and stitched on paper and cloth .

Sarah brought examples of her own beautiful work, explaining how it was done, and then gave a demonstration with lots of advice on how to get different types of print.  With this inspiration everyone quickly got started with making their own prints on different types of paper and on fabric.

We were asked to take our own 'found' objects to the workshop for making the prints.  A wide range of objects were used: leaves, feathers, gloves and keys.

Once the prints had been made they were arranged on a length of backing fabric, which could then be embellished with stitch, paint and other found objects to create a unique piece of work.

You can see the different styles of work and how every one is unique.  

We all had a thoroughly enjoyable day.  A big 'thank you' to Sarah for making this possible.  We all went home with plans on how to complete our work.
