Get hands-on and explore the playful side of making with paper, stitch, and mark-making with our very popular guest artist Amber Lily.
Experiment with a variety of papers — handmade, tracing, card, and tissue — to layer textures and effects, cut, rip, and arrange to create your own abstract collage, guided by mood boards for inspiration then add hand-stitched details for extra dimension using expressive mark-making techniques with oil pastels, paint, and pens.
