        Guest Teacher: Rosalind Wyatt  (UK)

   "I am inspired by words, particularly the sound of the human voice and the person behind it.

Language through handwriting and the forming of letters in different cultures – ultimately the universal concept of breath forming a line through writing, painting and speech.

The place where calligraphy and cloth meet; the emotion held in garments as a tactile canvas to reveal the living history of an individual as found in their handwritten letters.

To pick up a needle as a ‘writing tool’ and work the line in thread taking it back to the person who wrote the original — similar to listening to music where the voice of the artist comes through.  This I call, ‘writing with a needle’ — to hand stitch by hand and eye the handwriting of any individual into a garment they might have worn.

 I want to work with people who share this same attention to detail and an uncompromising approach to creativity". Rosalind Wyatt

Rosalind's writing and collage work on a tee shirt and historic knickers


JOIN US THIS SPRING IN OUR ASHLAND, OREGON STUDIO-

This workshop is an opportunity to explore your roots & create a new way to express  your passion for textiles. Bring a story, photos, sketches, printed fabrics, journal and memorabilia to start the process. Be thinking about the 'base' or format you might like to work with. Rosalind and I will share more ideas about that in the materials list and teaching notes in preparation for the workshop. Some makers work with one form their whole lives, exploring creativity through a lens that calls them...Your format might be a book, accessory or garment, maybe wall art? Sharing our design skills, we will guide you in growing YOUR design process as you create collage panels and textile pieces. We are looking forward to exploring new directions with each participant.                                                                                                          Diane &  Rosalind
