JENNIFER COLLIER
'Story Book Garments'
27th and 28th March 2017
Jennifer has not been to Moor Hall before so may not be known by my customers and followers. This should not deter people as her course will be, as I said in my last newsletter, quite magical.
Jennifer actually lives relatively near to me in Stafford. She has her own studio and gallery which you can visit:
Unit Twelve is open to the public, Thursday to Saturday 10.00am till 4.00pm.
Jennifer is highly experienced and is able to help students find there own creative path. She not only has experience in tutoring but also in mentoring with a number of subjects under her belt:
Approaching galleries
Publicity and marketing
Running art workshops
Pricing work
CVs and Artist Statements
Applications and selecting images
Do give thought to this two day course with Jennifer where she will welcome you to her
fantastical world, where every exquisite detail is made, folded and manipulated from paper. Once books, maps, envelopes, wallpaper or scrap, the paper is transformed into textural forms. Like cloth it is stitched to construct two or three dimensional objects, decorative and functional: lampshades, cameras, tools and furniture. The origin of the paper often provides a starting point for the artwork: the narrative of the books and papers suggesting idea and form.
Y
ou will work with Jennifer on this course to create surfaces, by waxing, trapping and layering papers, and then go on to embellish these using a wide range of traditional hand and machine techniques. We will use these to create small garments such as dresses, bibs and gloves.
