Workshops on Jersey - part the first . . .
I love teaching on Jersey at The Harbour Gallery. It's a great space, right next to the cafe . . all that fabulous food, and of course, cake.
My first workshop was at a local girls school, Beaulieu. We had a session with torn newspaper and magazines and Bondaweb. The girls produced some fabulous samples that could then be interfaced and stitched, or made into boxes, jewelry . . .

Here a few of the great samples from Beaulieu school -
That evening I opened the Diversity exhibition at The Harbour Gallery, a very talented group of textile artists were showing their work.
The opening of the exhibition was well attended and there were several sales. There was lovely atmosphere, a great buzz. Whatever exhibition is on, The Harbour Gallery is a great place to wander around with many resident artists along with craft and art supplies.
I was booked to teach 3 one day workshops at the gallery., Friday to Sunday
On Friday 15th I taught a one day version of On the Surface, similar to what I taught at Beaulieu on the Tuesday before.
As with the workshop at Beaulieu school, we used magazines and newspaper, but added old maps and used transfer foils for extra decoration.
We had enough time on the day to have a go at newspaper faux chenille. I do so love this technique. A great way to use up old newspapers.
On the Saturday it was On the Surface, my painted Bondaweb workshop. I was asked to add a short session on Tyvek with this workshop and here are a few samples of what was produced.
Painted Bondaweb with glitter.

With added Tyvek shapes.
We had a great 2 days - the final day was The Journey. I will write a separate post for that as the group created some really good work.
