This course is inspired by gardens, whether it be the chaos of the border or structural plant forms.

We will look at the wonderful shapes and patterns of plants. We will discuss composition and study how other artists use mixed media in their work.

We will also look at collage and the correct mediums for sticking a variety of materials including bondaweb, PVA and Pritt Stick.

The course will include block and gelli plate printing onto paper and fabric, transfer printing with natural resists, transfer foiling onto organza, painted bondaweb with stitched organza, soluble techniques and lots of collage (including aluminium sweet foils) and plenty of hand and machine embroidery stitching to create a variety of individual pieces.
