Personal Workshops

Teaching and sharing my knowledge and experience has always been a vital part of my life as an artist. I am now very happy to offer small group workshops from my textile studio on Pender Island.

Working together, we will develop your custom curriculum based on your interests. Suggested topics might include:

 

• surface design techniques - begin with colour and add pattern, texture and more - create your own visual surface
• book and scroll making - my popular Cloth to Codex experience
• soy wax and other resist approaches
• the hand worked surface - paint, marks and stitch
• sketchbook development - begin your creative journey by exploring our local landscapes
• fibre reactive dyeing - five way to colour
• screen and surface printing

I work with you to build a planned art and textile experience and can offer 1/2 or full days (studio time in the morning and outdoor time in the afternoon?)  I can facilitate 1-2 students and with additional planning, I can expand that number to 6-8 students.

Pender Island, on the west coast of Canada, is a beautiful destination that offers all the best of outdoor activities - kayaking, hiking, fishing, golf or many other choices depending on your (or family members) interests, plus camping, glamping, Airbnb, and resort accommodations.

Did I mention the chocolate shop close by plus a beautiful art gallery just around the corner?

Combining a world class location and an immersive art experience, what could be better....
