‘I AM’ Mantras The Ancient Art of Applique meets the Phenomenal Power of Personal Mantras at NorthSite Art Studios

Up-cycled graphic style Textile Art – Applique, with a conceptual theme – The power of Personal Mantras.

 

Come and explore the ancient form of textile artwork with a modern twist. Using the Applique technique with up-cycled materials to create an image celebrating the female form whilst also delving into the power of Personal Mantra’s. Applique is ornamental needlework where fabric patches are layered on a foundation fabric, then stitched in place by hand or machine with raw edges turned under or covered with decorative stitching to form a picture or pattern.

 

Throughout history the female form has been celebrated and revered as many things, a source of life, a goddess or muse, something to be seen and adored from a distance ‘the male gaze’, however in this workshop we will be celebrating the naked female form for its raw beauty and strength, using the female form as a representation of our most raw, authentic and vulnerable selves and harnessing the strength we already have within, with words used as personal mantras so the art works can be used as a tool, to prompt daily reminders of how we can manifest real change in our lives with the words we wish to embody.

 

No experience is necessary.

 

Why do this workshop?

This workshop offers participants to come together with like-minded people to talk, learn, share wisdom and reembrace ancient art practices with a modern twist, whilst harnessing the power that personal mantras can deliver into our lives.
