What are we going to do with gallons of milk, food colouring, washing up basins and washing up liquid, cello tape and small black cases? This is what we were all asking ourselves as we started our workshop at the Freespace Gallery. First workshop for some of us in awhile, this one was called Abstracted Self, run by Antonia Attwood and Daniel Regan. You can see some of the results here, but it also involved texture photos printed onto acetate and b&w portrait photos printed onto Xerox paper. The rest was up to us! . . . . #freespacegallery #artworkshop #freespacegalleryatthewigg #collage #montage #selfportraits #acetateprinting #xerox #antoniaattwood (at Free Space Project)

Enjoying another #workshop at #freespacegallery doing #batik this time with Rian. Learned so much in one day. End of the workshop today and here some fine samples of others work. Moving on to larger piece next week. Can't wait! #freespacegalleryatthewigg #batikworkshop #alwayslearning #ilovemakingart #freeworkshops (at Kentish Town health centre)

Enjoying another #workshop at #freespacegallery doing #batik this time with Rian. Learned so much in one day. Finally got to use the batik inks. I thought I might be able to knock out a banner for tomorrow's March, but not quite big enough! moving on to larger piece next week, but too late for the banner! #freespacegalleryatthewigg #batikworkshop #alwayslearning #ilovemakingart #freeworkshops (at Kentish Town health centre)

Enjoying another #workshop at #freespacegallery doing #batik this time with Rian. Learned so much in one day. Still on the wax stage of skills learning in this pic. I kept asking when do we get to ink it. Dying for some colour. Impatient. Made 4 samples, moving on to larger piece next week. Can't wait! #freespacegalleryatthewigg #batikworkshop #alwayslearning #ilovemakingart #freeworkshops (at Kentish Town health centre)

Finally getting around to putting the border around my painted wax cotton piece I created at a Free Space Gallery workshop with #phillyhunt at the James Wigg practice in Kentish Town back in the spring. On the theme of #talismans and #tattoos. Decided it would be good to get some of those unfinished projects and tasks done. I made a kind of take on an Assyrian style illustration, but depicting 2 sides of myself. I spent ages deciding which braid should be on which side of the piece! The embroidered braids are some vintage ones I had in my storehouse of haberdashery. Here, I am hand sewing the braids together. More progress pics to come! #handsewing #vintagebraid #embroidery #waxedfabric #assyrian #assyrianstyle #craft #workshops #workingfromhome #mycraft #myart #mycreativity #handmadecraft #haberdashery #freespacegallery #freespacegalleryatthewigg #framingthepiece #braidedborder (at Kentish Town)
