Improvisational Collage and Stitch
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
WildCraft Studio School is pleased to host Los Angeles-based textile artist, Debra Weiss, for a day of exploring collage through the lens of textiles in our North Portland Studio. Layering, stitching, weaving and knotting: making meaning through process, composition and materiality. Debra will encourage an improvisational mindset in this workshop, opening students to the idea of letting go of preconceived notions and allowing the fabric to dictate direction and message. For first-time stitchers, Debra will provide guidance on a variety of stitching techniques including running stitch, back stitch, blanket stitch and chain stitch.
