Today was Day 1 of my class, Paper Lamination, with Sarah Welsby at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham. Paper Lamination is a process incorporating paper and cloth. Sarah is a fabulous artist who has created incredible works using, cloth, paper and stitching. Our class is held in the convention center where the Festival of Quilts will open on Thursday. It is fun to be there early and watch all the exhibits being hung. You can google both the Festival and Sarah for more information.There are twelve in my class and students are here from England, Wales, Ireland, Sweden and Switzerland! I am the only American. It is a great group and we are having a lot of fun while learning. I feel very blessed to have this opportunity. I know the week will fly by, so I am trying to savor every moment.
The photo above is a detail of a piece I am working on. It is the first step in paper lamination and it will be interesting to see how it changes as I continue to layer and stitch. I will try to photograph it at the end of each day to show my progress. Miss you. So long for now.

Hi Mom!
ReplyDeleteLove the blog!!! Pix are great!!! The Grace(ie) gown is awesome!
I love the piece you are doing- can't wait to see it develop.
You should go on a tea hunt in the village. Nothing like some really good UK tea (except for Irish tea, of course).
Funny how there was a Bloomberg connection. Remember how Chi and I found the Tait Business Centre in Limerick? Sarah is so global....
k...going to watch some quality reality tv :)
Lovey!
