Knitted Collage with Georgia Farrell

We’re cooking up a very special Rowan Weekend with Georgia Farrell!

Join us at WEBS on Saturday, February 18th, 2023, for her hands-on workshop:
Knitted Collage: Colour and Texture in which Georgia will demonstrate how she uses architectural images as inspiration. Students will get creative with colored paper and pencils to create graphic collages that you will then translate into chart form, ready to make your own unique knitted collage from. She will cover how to translate basic blocks of color and texture from your collages, into a knitting chart, the basics of intarsia, and how to combine color and texture to add depth to your design. This class will give you a real insight into how she created many of the designs from her collection 'Abstract'.

For the comfort and safety of our students and teachers, students may be asked to wear a mask during in-person classes and workshops, and are available upon request.
