J.Gaye Nieuwenhof (19-20 August 2023)

We will use humble materials such as calico, muslin, brown paper, magazine papers, printmaking papers, charcoal, ink, coffee and tea staining, string, embroidery cotton and white ceiling paint to magic into being some organic tactile pieces, which will focus on landscape as the theme.
We will use a Gel press and an etching press (I will bring ink to share) to further explore imagery of the natural environment.
We will also use house paint and various fabrics on a variety of supports.
Ready yourself for a busy and productive time spent with like minded souls. Create memories.
These can be further deconstructed and reconstructed to realize your vision.
