After her talk about Kimonos a few weeks earlier, the lovely Liz returned to Guthrie to deliver a very creative workshop where we learned artful ways of creating gift tags, bookmarks and mini works of art using bits and bobs collected from travels or left over from other projects... Or just anything that was meaningful to us in some way.
Everyone was asked to come along with a theme in mind, such as a holiday, hobby, family event, journey, etc. and some interesting scraps or remnants, including tickets, texts, coloured/textured paper, fabrics, buttons, or anything else that took our fancy.
Liz also brought along a very interesting selection of the above, many with a Japanese flavour.
We started covering the base of a label and then building up the layers with various scraps and objects along the lines of our chosen themes.
Liz demonstrated and suggested a variety of ways to complete our projects, particularly using the "1/3" structure of artistic placements.
Everyone had a fantastic day that tested us and delivered fabulous outcomes.
