As well as being inspired by the workshop I attended, I was also inspired by the work of the other students and the tutors.
Dutch artist, MarlaineVerhelst, has the most delicious sense of humour, which is reflected in her work. She taught doll-making and these are the dolls produced by some of her students:
Australian Andy PcPherson, the only man in the place, poor bugger, works with scrap metal to create the most beautiful things:
and so did his students:
Japanese Atsuko Susaki taught students how to make the most incredible felted handbags:
while Australian Gail Stiffe taught the creation of artist books:
The wonderfully effervescent, South African Kathryn Harmer Fox's work involves using the sewing machine as a creative tool:
and her students also created amazing work:
Pauline Delaney is an incredible Australian, glass maker and her students created amazing glass beads:
English Gizella K. Warburton is an amazing artist. Her workshop was exploring mark making and I learned a lot just from looking at the work of her students:
Caroline Sharkey was the last tutor, but unfortunately, the photos of her classwork, "Patterns of the Land", explorations in fabric art, did not come out.
As well as the classes, I found the entries for the 10 by 10 and 15 by 15 centimetre sales, made by students, staff and tutors, very inspiring:
In addition, my fellow students inspired me in their work
Workshops really are a great way to learn and be inspired.
