A workshop with Alyson Midgelow Marsden

I am a long time fan of Alysn Midgelow Marsden and her wonderful works of art so I took the opportunity of travelling down to Out of the Blue studio to do a one day course with her using metallic compounds. It was a lovely day with lots of learning about new products and processes. The process uses textural fabrics - the more textured the better - lace, yarn, thread, stitching. this is then painted over with a base metallic compound paint. Once this is dried a second specialised coating is applied. Finally highlights can be introduced using metallic compounds usually used for enhancing antiqued carvings.
