Some lucky members enjoyed a wonderful weekend. Some images of them hard at work.
On Saturday they examined the work of John Piper looking at light and dark and blocks of colour. They collaged tissue paper, decorative paper and photocopies into a base this formed dark blocks which they they wax resisted, bleaching colour out of areas. They then worked with inks to add back colour blocks.
On Sunday they ironed out the wax on Saturdays pieces and worked on them further. They then repeated the previous days sequence this time on white cotton, working from light to dark. Most then added black ink over their work work to give defined outlines. Some examples of the work produced are shown below. So effective.
Members were also able to enjoy a weekend in a lovely setting and thanks to Liz on both evenings had a quiz. One was based on textiles the other on cheese or service stations.
