On Saturday a full house of members enjoyed a paper collage workshop led by Anne Brooke.
Anne is a member of Halifax Branch, and is an established artist. Her work is familiar to many of us and we had all looked forward to participating in this workshop.
It is quite surprising that when given a roomful of paper, fabric, bits and pieces and sewing machines what can happen! We all had a thoroughly enjoyable day as Anne led us through her techniques for creating these collages. Although Anne's first source for inspiration is seed pods, there were many other sources of inspiration available and the results were all very different, reflecting our own choice of topic and style.
Anne is an amusing speaker and entertained us with stories about her past interests and how she had come to love this method or working. Her sketch books were an inspiration in themselves and it was lovely to be able to get up close and see her work.
The final results were extremely satisfying
Even the backs looked interesting!
A very enjoyable day which passed by all to quickly
I will add a further gallery of our finished (or almost finished pieces in the next post
