Developing Your Visual Voice with Motifs • Summer 2022
This workshop is dedicated to the exploration of motifs.
What is a motif? It is the single most important thing that will make your work unique.
Some of you may wonder - what is a motif exactly? Basically it’s a shape that is dominant in your work. It’s a design that is either formed by putting multiple shapes together to make a new shape, or just creating a standalone shape that becomes recognizable in your work.

Meaning that you might not finish this workshop with "one" finished piece. This is an exploration.
In this workshop, we will be exploring...
The history of motifs, and the significance in art and design.
The importance of value, scale and of course - color.
You will be provided with a simple roadmap on how to put your motifs into action. The best way to cement new knowledge is to start using it right away.
Here is a glimpse of some of the awesome work that was created in the last workshop.
My goal is for you to be prepared for this workshop, technically and otherwise. Therefore, I will be providing you with the following:
After registration, you may access pre-recorded lessons in this course. This includes a talk about fabric in regards to what you will need for this workshop. We will be using solid fabric in this workshop.
Access to a Private Community for this course.
Technical tips and advise to enhance your experience.
As an instructor, I am constantly evolving. I’ve identified areas that may need a little more attention. Often this is difficult in a workshop when you are focused on designing and creating a piece. And typically, I give a lot of info in my workshops. Therefore, I’ve made the decision to start segmenting some of this into bite-size pieces that can be more easily assimilated and deeply explored.
This is definitely a workshop for all levels, and even if you are comfortable improvising, you might enjoy focusing on developing your personal, recognizable style. That’s with this workshop is all about!
