ZOOM Workshop by Siân Martin – “ASSEMBLAGE”

Siân Martin has been using different methods of ASSEMBLAGE within her textile art pieces to create articulated textiles that move and flow. Bring your own thoughts and memories together in your own textile investigations.

The word ‘assemblage’ describes a textile that is created by combining multiples of different materials; fabrics, papers, threads, photos, abandoned samples, surfaces that hold memories, any item that has meaning for your story that can be stitched into.

Fragments and multiples can be made into a whole. Machine stitching, hand lacing and soluble materials will be used to link these fragments, using the stitch to link and decorate the fragments.

This workshop will take you through different methods of selecting materials, disassembling them and then re-assembling them in imaginative ways that tell a personal story.

Siân is a teacher and textile artist who exhibits with the 62 Group and is currently chair of the Textile Study Group. She developed and directed ‘Distant Stitch’, the successful, online learning City and Guilds embroidery course. She lives in Somerset and mentors a group of  ‘Stitch Textile Artists’, an active group that meet to inspire each other and exhibit locally.
