SAME SEA, DIFFERENT BOAT: HOW TO BE PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE!
It has been hard to find our creativity during lock down; we are all in the same sea but not necessarily the same boat! We have all experienced the Covid pandemic in very different ways and Sue, Louise and Liske want to invite you to take part in an exciting combined project.
We have created a printed/stitched fabric quilt that explores your individual experiences, thoughts & emotions collectively about your time in lock down.
Become part of a bigger picture.
Your contribution will be added to this amazing quilt, which will showcase beautifully your individual response to the global pandemic. The final piece will be displayed in various locations (dates and locations TBA)
The Project
· Make a simple collagraph plate, 10cms x 10cms, using the instructions found HERE in a later blog post. These instructions have been put together especially for those who have never made a collagraph plate before. Express your lock down experience, figuratively or as an abstract using the suggested techniques.
Put your name, address and email on the back of the completed collagraph plate and together with a SAE post it to:-
Sue Brown, the yard:ARTspace, Upper Bath Street, Cheltenham, GL50 2BA
There is now an open ended deadline due to the popularity of the project, but please email me at sb.brown@talk21.com if you intend to take part. When I get your collagraph plate, it will be inked up and printed on fabric in Prussian Blue. As much as I would like to print you a separate copy of your collagraph, I am getting lots of plates to print for the project...!! Your plate will be returned in your SAE for you to print again later.
The fabric print will be sent back to you for stitching and embellishing in your provided SAE.
Return finished square to Sue at the yard:ARTspace. When your square arrives Louise, Liske and Sue will add it to the quilt.
OR
· Create a stitched,
collage using only natural fabrics, embroider hand or machine as much as you
like, expressing your lock down experience, figuratively or as an abstract.
· Please make the
image size 10cm x 10cm on a piece of fabric 15cm x 15cm so it
will fit the other squares to make the quilt.
· Send your completed square to Sue at the yard:ARTspace, address above, and Louise, Liske and Sue will add it to the quilt.
If you would like to take part could you please
e-mail me, sb.brown@talk21.com as soon as possible so we know how many collagraph plates and stitched squares to expect?
Thank you and we look forward to receiving your collagraph plate or stitched square and being part of abigger picture.
