Jason Pollen workshop

Thanks to a lot of hard work by Emmie Seaman, Uncommon Threads also sponsored a two-day Jason Pollen workshop at RuBert Studios on the opening weekend of ThreadLines.

The class involved lots of drawing exercises and experiments at building texture and color using acrylic gel medium as a base, then stitching or altering the paper and fabric collages in any possible way.

Gel medium drying on fabric-covered papers.

Merrilee gets wild with the graphite, while Donna and Susan, a visiting artist from Florida watch with amusement.

While the clock ticks, Lucy and Emmie fuse fabric to paper.

Lettie and Maureen work beside another visiting artist.

Finally, disussion of work in the gallery. Here’s a few samples of people’s work:
