Mapping your Journey
Finding ways to honour precious memories is the theme of Anne's workshop, taking inspiration from her book Textile Travels.
You will be using meaningful images, ephemera and a map or portion of a map to create a record of a physical or emotional journey.
We will be working from a collection of photos or postcards, old receipts and brochures, to create either a folding book about 10 x 45 cm or a collaged piece no larger than 30 x 30 cm using these elements.
The resulting piece will be a personal response to a special place or event. Stitch, drawing and collage will be used.
For members to get the best experience we recommend they continue working on their pieces on the Friday afternoon, and although they may not finish by Saturday lunchtime, they will know how to complete them by the end of the workshop.
A brief biography
Anne was born and educated in Canada and at Goldsmiths College in London. She collects recycled fabric, paper and ephemera using collage, stitch and print techniques. Her inspirations are travel, memory and vintage imagery from a variety of sources. Anne's layered mixed media work started life as mainly botanical in subject matter before developing into larger more narrative works. Often it can be a small scrap or remnant of fabric that inspires a whole piece.
Anne teaches and exhibits widely in the UK and abroad, including at the World of Threads festival in Canada, the Prague Patchwork Meeting and the Jersey Textile Showcase. Recently she was an invited artist at textile shows in Beaujolais, the Luberon and the Autumn and Spring Knitting and Stitching Shows. Anne writes for magazine and websites and blogs. She co-authored her first book Connected Cloth (2013) and is the author of Textile Nature and Textile Folk Art, all Batsford Books. She has work in national and international collections and is on the Crafts Council Makers Directory.
