Inspired by the idea of the “rememory” as found in Toni Morrison’s Beloved, this workshop with Aneesa Shami Zizzo shares how to capture the abstract notion of memory through material exploration. Using reclaimed fabric, collage methods and applique techniques, the ReMemory Landscape relies on a making-while-meditating mindset. Participants will explore how to depict their personal memories of specific landscapes through the use of fabric collage and abstract imagery. We will experiment with color and patterned fabric to create visual depth in composition, as well as invisible stitching techniques to mimic the look of paper collage in fabric applique. Previous experience with hand sewing is not required, but encouraged.
The workshop fee is $70 and includes materials.
