I love the name of this workshop. It's actually the saying that is on the sample canvas but it is so appropriate for this workshop. The possibilities for it are endless.
I work very intuitively when I create so I don't usually think about the specific things I use and why I'm choosing them but when it's done it usually tells a story or teaches me something. For me it's about letting go and not overthinking it.
These students did a great job of not over thinking things and created something that is all their own.

Do you work intuitively or do you have a plan before you start?

Excavating Layers is my newest workshop in the studio this year. I've been enjoying playing with a lot of texture pastes for a few years and have finally figured out how to incorporate that into a workshop. Texture paste, and making my own versions of texture paste is one of my favourite things to play with. There is just so many things you can do with it. In this workshop we mix a variety of things together to make our own texture. The possibilities are endless, as you can see from my students pieces. I even had one student bring some gears and found object to make a layer with. A few of them are not sure if they are finished but they are pretty close to it.
