Join artist Dezeta Fantie for a gently guided textile collage workshop session. Playing with different colours, shapes and textures this session involves exploring the joining of fabrics to tell or show a story. Gently guided by the artist, enjoy some stitching and working with scrap or recycled fabrics. Fabric and other sewing material will be available to use but participants are encouraged (not required) to bring any spare or scrap fabrics from home they might want to use.
About the artist
Dezeta Fantie is a Black British Caribbean interdisciplinary artist that predominantly works with textiles, collage and text. Recently graduating from a BA in Fine Art, she enjoys finding new ways to share her practise and further exploring how traditional textile processes can be used to tell stories. Exploring history and reflecting on her own heritage, her process begins with collecting, collaging and reading. Fantie’s practice concerns creating a visual language and textile landscape that preserves, reimagines and celebrates the lives of black women, past, present or imagined.
This workshop is for adults. Ages 14 plus are welcome to attend with a responsible adult.
