'Layers in the Landscape' - A Textile Approach with Amanda Hislop.

Monday 26th to Friday 30th A practical and experimental workshop exploring methods of layering papers and fabrics to form surfaces for stitch.Work with the layers in landscape imagery to compose surfaces on a fine fabric background, trapping natural fragments and threads within the surface and using acrylic paints and dyes to over lay washes of colour. Experiment with ways of changing the qualities of papers, and incorporate stitch into landscape compositions developed from your own personal material. The workshop is suitable for those with hand stitch, free machine embroidery skills and basic drawing and painting ability, as well as the more experienced. Above all bring an open mind and a willingness to experiment!

AMANDA HISLOP is influenced by colours and textures within landscapes and natural forms. She combines painting, drawing, fabric and free machine embroidered threads to capture images and integrate texture into and across the surface of her original art work. A member of the Oxfordshire Craft Guild and Prism exhibiting group, Amanda has exhibited her work at the Mall Galleries London, and local venues in Oxfordshire. She has work in private collections in the UK and runs individual and group workshops. 'www.amandahislop.co.uk'
