Take the fear out of using a sketchbook. Learn creative ways of developing ideas through mixed media including dyeing and staining pages, drawing with found objects, stitching and layering.’ Using collage, colour, drawing and mark making in your sketchbook, you will develop your own ideas to achieve great confidence in composition, colour and design to reflect your own journey and interest. This three day online workshop will be delivered by Cas Holmes from 11am to 1pm on the 4th, 11th and 18th June 2025. Cas Holmes is one of UK's most renowned textile artists. She exhibits widely and runs courses at West Dean College in West Sussex. She is the author of Textile Landscape, Stitch Stories, The Found Object in Textile Art and Connected Cloth, also published by Batsford. She has also written for magazines and websites including Embroidery, The Quilter and Textile Artist and for the The Festival of Quilts. Trained in fine art, Cas’s work combines mixed media with found materials and stitch and is best described as ‘painting with cloth’. The history and familiarity of worn cotton, linen and paper mark the passing of time informing the narratives contained within the work. ‘For every artist, there is the what – what they make – and there is the why – the reason they are compelled to make. And then there is the place where these two converge to make art. Cas Holmes is fascinated by these zones of convergence in the making of art as well as in the concrete world that inspires it.’
