Baltic Shop Creates | Narrative Textiles

Join us for this fun and relaxed session where you will create a stitched collage using your own personal narrative.

Whether we are aware of it or not, we all have a story to tell. Learn how to use inspirational collage resources, along with your own photographs, memorabilia, and any treasures you wish to bring along to inspire you and incorporate into your artworks created within the session. This is visual storytelling at its best.

Ailish Henderson is a narrative based artist, most recognised for her Stitched Collage Portraits. She spends her time developing her work, in tandem with writing for such publications as Embroidery, published by the Embroiderers’ Guild.

All materials will be provided, however the ones stated below are for reference if you wish to bring any along to the session yourself.

• Reference photographs of your subject

• Personal source material, such as travel memorabilia, tickets, or old clothing

Refreshments will be provided. Please advise us of any dietary requirements or allergies.
