This workshop concentrates on drawing with collage with a CHRISTMAS theme to create a wall piece especially for Christmas decoration in your home.  Students are expected to bring a collection of festive images/ photocopies and designs from magazines, old cards that they like.
These collected images could be a mixture of landscape, figurative or still life.  We will spend the first day creating a collage design which will be the basis for your embroidered canvas picture.  For the rest of the workshop we will be using paint, free machine embroidery and then anything sparkly, to embellish the Christmas designs creating a one-off and individual piece of art which can then be framed and exhibited once a year in your own home or given as a unique gift for Christmas.
