Saturday 2nd October - My journey to stitch - Saskia Poller

Saskia's talk described how over the years her work has developed via feltmaking, bookarts and resin into stitched textile collages. It included her love of recording history using little treasures that are often kept safe in a box where they cannot be seen or are torn, damaged or broken and would otherwise be thrown away.

Her work is heavily influenced by her faith and the recording of history using ephemeral objects. She explained that she takes items that are often torn, damaged or disfigured and turn them into pieces of art 

                                                                     

                                                     

                                                        

Saskia will be offering us a workshop on  her textile collage techniques on November 6th.

Thank you Saskia
