May talk by Catherine Lawes

Our talk next Friday 3rd May, will be by textile and quilt artist, Catherine Lawes:

From here to there and back again

Originally from New Zealand, Catherine is now based in East Sussex, where she works with many textural mediums to create very intense and emotionally inspired pieces of wall art. These can be in quilt form or small textural pieces. 

Catherine's inspiration comes from the shapes of the landscape around her resonating on a deeply spiritual level. She uses her own photographs to capture the many changing moods of the day and the seasons. Satellite images showing all the amazing patterns formed by nature and man on the surface of the earth are another source of inspiration. Her recent five-year return to New Zealand renewed and deepened her connection to the land of her birth and upbringing, its history and all cultures living there. 

Visitors are welcome.

There are still a couple of places left on the follow-on workshop on Saturday 4th May:

Textured Landscapes - with Catherine Lawes

This is intended to be a fun and freeing class using many textured fabrics and yarns. Paint a warm, impressionistic landscape or abstract piece where the layers of fabric and yarn and cross stitching or couching build the final finished picture. The technique is particularly suitable for mountain, water and hill scenes.

  

A kit will be available: price payable on the day £10 pp.

If you are interested in taking up a place, please contact Dayschool Secretary: leamingtondistrictdaysch@gmail.com for more details and requirement list.
