A few examples of the resolved textile pieces as a result of the 'Assemblage' workshop from Susan, Johnnene, Gail, Maggie, Kathy, Leanne, Jackie, Betty and Ruth Ann. There were many other exciting pieces, too numerous to add here that used different methods of attachment to create assembled textiles, combining old and new materials, some dipped in a dye bath of potassium permanganate solution to help to unify the different parts.

It is lovely to see the pictures from our class. It was a wonderful experience. Thanks again Sian for your lessons, laughs,and'Sianisms'.

These are lovely, inspiring pieces (the tree and the cats were great too!). As soon as it stops raining I'm off to collect sticks to make some assemblages of my very own. I have no idea what potassium permanganate is but I shall look it up because the effect is wonderfully tree-ish.
