A new workshop discovering and developing the redemptive qualities of old painted and dyed newspapers. Create fascinating surfaces on which to print and stitch. Using painted Bondaweb, gilding flake and polyester organza, we will explore the possibilities of layering textures to end up with firm pieces of work that can be used to make books, boxes and vessels which demonstrate the striking contrasts of the media - Rich/poor and matt/shiny.
