"Beneath the Surface" - Patchwork Collage

http://www.indigomoon.co.uk/workshops/workshop013_TG_C.html

I'm quite excited to be doing my own workshop here at Indigo Moon Creative Workshops it's been a long while since i've done one.

I'm currently taking stock of supplies and sorting through cupboards and drawers to see what i have and making lists of what i'm going to need. I thought it would be quite stressful but it's turning out to be rather cathartic as i discover old book pages full of beautiful words and illustrations, the hardest decision being whether to cut them up or not!!!

Then there's the paints, bottles and bottles of fluid acrylics, watercolours, gouache, watercolour pencils, crayons with names like Faber Castell and Caran D'Ache

Wood substrates of all sorts to work on

We will be spending the day painting, glueing, cutting, tearing, mending, gouging, repairing using anything and everything we can get our hands on 

(including our hands/fingers if we so wish)

In essence, anything goes on this workshop, there are no rules, just see where your muse takes you, your finished piece will probably look nothing like your planned idea.

Come and join me (Tina) here at Indigo Moon for this workshop, there are still a few places left
