Winter Landscape: Kneaded Paper (Momigami) Workshop
Thursday 18 November 2021 | 1:00 pm
Artist Cas Holmes use found materials, paper and cloth to create richly worked textile pieces. She is author of five books, the most recent Embroidering the Everyday was published in September.
In this workshop we work inventively with paper, cloth and stitch using the Japanese technique of Momigami (kneaded paper) to create a base for a stitched winter landscape. A materials list will be sent to you on booking.
In Japan, Momigami is a type of cloth made out of long fibre paper that has been rubbed, wrinkled and strengthened. We will be stitching several layer of ‘momigami paper cloth’ combined with woven cloth from your stash to create the base for a seasonally inspired landscape for you to complete after the workshop. The emphasis is on learning and experimenting with mark and stitch to create sample size art pieces.
