About this Event

Using the rich variety of colours and textures Washi offers, you will create a unique collage based on an image of your own choosing. You can work from a photo, or from your imagination.

Artist and illustrator, Ruth Maclean will guide you through the process of selecting papers based on colour, tone, transparency, and texture, that will work best for your image, and will show you how layering and juxtaposition of tones and textures work to create form and distance.

Whether you work from your own photograph, from your imagination, or want to work more abstractly, there will be lots to learn. Ruth encourages individual expression -- whatever inspires your creativity -- come with your ideas and enjoy the day!

All necessary supplies and materials will be provided.

Participants are asked to bring the following:

  • a notebook /sketchbook and pen
  • an apron, or dress to get messy
  • small sharp scissors (optional - if you think your image will require precision)
  • your lunch


About Ruth Maclean:

Ruth is a highly accomplished artist and illustrator. Known for her sensitive imagery and creative use of materials, Ruth has collaborated with Hebridean author Catherine Wilson on a number of books, most recently , as well the childrens' book series .
