Working in a Textile Art Journal with Kay Murray
Why work in a textile art journal? Not only is it a place to store information but it also an opportunity for creative expression and can even become an art work in itself. It can contain research, sketching, sampling, glueing, painting, the list goes on. The journals can also be a repository for memories and a place to record thoughts and ideas.
In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to work in a journal that they have quickly made while developing their own textile art idea, possibly for an upcoming exhibition. Creativity will be unleashed with many presentation ideas and ways to stimulate imagination presented while filling blank pages with beautiful work.
Participants can expect, in the two day course, to make a junk journal style book, source, organise and present ideas related to their own topic or inspiration. They will develop interesting ways of presenting, testing and evaluating the progress of their inspiration.
Kay Murray is a lifelong textile fanatic, being interested in traditional and textile art work. She has had a long career as a textile educator and successfully submitted her work to numerous exhibitions including juried exhibitions. Kay is experienced in a wide range of textile techniques and as so can offer a wealth of experience to workshop participants.
