FOBA 2024 - Ginger Burrell – Creativity, Collage and Coptic Stitch

Class Overview - All Levels

Never lose an idea again! Make two single-needle Coptic stitch books in this class to keep your ideas at hand for your next creative session. The first, an idea journal, will have a torn collage cover and large pages for you to keep your ideas, techniques, and notes. The second book, a small purse-sized journal features a pieced collage cover and rounded corners. This little journal is the perfect size to jot down ideas, tape sample papers and threads, and keep important “aha” moments where you can find them again.

We’ll also do creativity exercises in class and talk about how to translate those ideas into finished artwork.

You’ll leave class with two finished collage covered journals with single needle Coptic stitch bindings and blank pages ready for your inspiration.
