I have just returned home from a fabulous week in Toowoomba with Fibre Arts Australia working with Hannah Lamb from the UK. It was a week of exploring , playing , thinking, experimenting and developing a personal narrative of our own landscape from this activity. We drew, wrote, frottaged, cyanotype printed, critiqued and installed our pieces for exhibition. There were three other wonderful supportive textile artist in this master class where we each developed our ideas through the generous and thoughtful input from Hannah.
This is the results of a group collaborative art activity at 2QAQ last year. A large piece of white cotton fabric was laid on a table with the artist’s gathered around each clutching a felt marking pen. We wrote , words favourite sayings, drew symbols lines and marks. Then a second group of artists came and did the same thing. We then came back to the work an applied paint. We wrote in paint, put lines around the previous images and words or covered them. After drying each artist was given a small piece. Mine was enough to make a small journal cover with a piece of orange added to the long edges.
