Assemblage

A workshop that explores ways of using stitching to link small paper fragments to create articulating fabric-like surfaces.

The word ‘assemblage’ describes a textile that is created by combining multiples of different materials; fabrics, papers, threads, photos, abandoned samples, surfaces that hold memories, any item that has meaning for your story that can be stitched into.

Fragments and multiples can be made into a whole. Machine stitching, hand lacing and soluble materials will be used to link these fragments, using the stitch to link and decorate the fragments.
