Summer Week-long Retreat at Artelier!
Looking for a creative getaway not far from home? Why not spend a week at Artelier exploring and experiementing with a diverse range of materials? This week we’ll be focusing on ways that a substrate (paper and fabrics) can be processed using dye, printmaking and collage. Learn a variety of techniques from 3 different instructors, each a master of their own craft.
Each instructor will cover a different medium and project, however many of these processes are transferable and harness the potential for combining and mixing. Whether you’re looking to expand on your skill set and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the nature of different papers and fabrics, or try something completely new, Surfaces Week is the retreat for you
