Paper collage meets quilting in this fun and adventurous online workshop.
YES, YOU CAN STITCH PAPER WITH YOUR HOME SEWING MACHINE!

David will guide you through a series of hands-on exercises and share his 20+ years of experience as a paper collage artist, including all his tips and ideas for simple but striking compositions.
Participants will discuss what papers work best, from art store purchases to junk mail, cut base paper into standard 6″ x 6″ shapes or print templates from supplied PDFs, mark off composition area with drafting tape guides, cut and/or tear up paper to be added to their composition, sew strips of paper onto base paper, building as they go, remove tape guides and review options for framing and additional construction ideas
This workshop is a 3-hour live-stream event, conducted on Zoom, consisting of live instruction plus a few videos (no recording, please). You should have the current version of Zoom installed on your computer or laptop.
