OMG... Sarah Amos is a power pack on SPEED! Eight wonderful students kept running for three days to keep up as she generously shared her techniques and tips for Collagraphs. Multilayered and colour infused, the plates are works of art in themselves, but when combined together are beautiful.
Sarah's years of experience and just plain dedication to her art practice was so evident in this workshop. Interestingly she showed us some of her new work which is printing on felt and embroidered, with the printing taking a telling, but backseat role. I'd personally consider going to New York in May just to see the two huge pieces hang in the New York Art Fair. Fantastic.
If you haven't done her workshop, can't draw perhaps, and love making things, this is the workshop to do at least twice! There is so much information and inspiration here, that you'd be pleased to make the commitment of time and money! Lets hope Sarah comes back next year!
I've uploaded some random pics of plates in the making and Sarah at the wheel demonstrating! Enjoy.
