Surprise yourself with this unexpected environmentally friendly, fluffy ‘painting’ medium.

A fun class that has you painting without ‘paint’, to create mini artworks that can be hung on a wall, worn as ‘shaggy fashion’ or used as a rug (when upscaled into a larger format). Your choice.

Various materials (upcycled / recycled and new) can be used to create. Students will learn how to create, using the latch-hook rug making technique.

Traditional painting techniques, such as composition, perspective, colour and form will be used to structure the image to be created.

Various materials can be used such as shredded damaged garments, leather swatches (upholstery swatches), wool, string, shoe laces, ribbon, shredded tyre inner tubing and soft plastics, etc, etc, the list is endless.

This will result in an environment friendly ‘painting’

Students will create their own simple work, for example - a basic landscape, stylised 'logo' and / or as you may desire and / or imagine.

Bring your ideas to class. Take away future ideas and unexpected applications, ranging from however not limited to the creation of a wall hanging piece of art or a functioning 'art' rug for your floor!
