Stitched Photo Collage Workshop with Jody Alexander
Saturday, March 15th, 1 - 5pm / $85

Stitching adds texture, dimension, and a wonderful tactile quality to art pieces. In this workshop students will make a collage using old or new photos, drawings, book pages, found papers, fabric, and stitching. Embroidery and mending techniques will be taught and used as both function and embellishment in this workshop. A photo or image will be the focal point of your collage and it will be combined with paper ephemera, fabric scraps, "found words", mark making, and stitching to create a rich and textured story. The finished product can be a card, a page for an artist's book, or a masterpiece ready for framing!

Students will need the following tools: exacto knife, scissors, needles, pins, ruler or straight edge for cutting or tearing papers, and some kind of cutting mat or protection for your work surface.

Students will need the following materials: one piece of fabric measuring about 12 x 12 that will be the back/base of our piece (can be muslin, cotton, linen, etc.), fabric scraps for collaging, photos (old or new, original or print outs), paper ephemera (book pages, sheet music, graph paper, etc.), a variety of threads, mark making materials of your choice (pencils, pens, water colors, etc.)

Using recycled materials, and things you have on hand, is encouraged!

Instructor will have:Threads, fabric scraps, miscellaneous paper ephemera
