About Narrative Textiles Workshop
Whether we are aware of it or not, we all have a story to tell.
Learn how to use inspirational collage resources, along with your own photographs, memorabilia, and any treasures you wish to bring along to inspire you and incorporate into your artworks created within the session. This is visual storytelling at its best.
The session will be focused in a fun and relaxed way, with no high aspirations or strict rules – this is your chance for creative play. This workshop has been directly inspired by Ailish’s own artwork, which will be discussed and visually showcased at the beginning of this session.
At the end of the session, you will leave with inspiration to know how to develop your own stitched collage pieces using your own personal narrative. You will have begun this project and worked at your own pace to produce at least the beginnings of a stitched collage.
Ailish Henderson is a narrative based artist, centring her practice on the premise that through the act of using ones’ hands in a creative mannerism, a form of healing can be located for the creative director themselves emotionally. This transposes into her work in a subtle, gentle, and censured manner. Her artistic expression visually comprises of mixed media embroidered works, some with sculptural value. At present she is most recognised for her Stitched Collage Portraits, which provide visions and insights into her personal historical familial lines.
