This afternoon Fiona set up a drawing workshop for the embroidery students- we were asked to bring two relevant objects to draw from, and a range of medias/ materials to work with. Given a set list of rules, we set off using different approaches to the objects/ materials, for example drawing with our eyes closed and feeling the object, or using opposite hands to draw with. Below are a selection of samples from the workshop. I am not a fan of mess in my sketchbook, so doing this in itself has been a massive challenge, however it has been a great afternoon of experimentation, and a fantastic way to loosen up and risk-take.
