The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum is pleased to announce three exciting fibre arts workshops at the Museum led by the renowned William Hodge. On Thurs.  May 31, he will be doing a hands on workshop “Creating Fabric Collage” using his approach that has much greater flexibility and possibilities for creative expression than traditional techniques. On Friday, June 1, learn some tricks to strengthen the visual impact of your work. William along with Robert Wylie will present “The Geometry of Design”. This will be seminar format and would be of interest to people in all visual art disciplines: fibre arts, painting, photography and mixed media. The third workshop on Saturday, June 2 will be on “Colour and Synaesthesia”. One can never stop learning about colour and this workshop will give inspiration to anyone who works with colour. Instead of basic colour theory, William will talk about colour approaches inspired by senses other than sight.

William Hodge and Robert Wylie have both inspired many artists, especially those in fibre and related media. Both taught at OCAD University many years and have a wealth of information which they willingly share with workshop participants. Attend and be inspired!
