Class Description: Join David Owen Hastings for a Stitched Paper Collage workshop. A fun and adventurous online workshop in which paper collage meets quilting! YES, YOU CAN STITCH PAPER WITH YOUR HOME SEWING MACHINE! Using your home sewing machine, create immediate creative collages with paper and thread. No waiting around for glue to dry! I will guide you through a series of hands-on exercises and share my 20+ years of experience as a paper collage artist, including all my tips and ideas for simple but striking compositions. This workshop is a 3-hour live-stream event, conducted on Zoom, consisting of live instruction plus a few videos (no recording, please).
