However, such a buzz has been generated that we can now offer a second class in Calgary in the wonderful location of Artpoint, in southern Inglewood, which offers plenty of space, light, and easy parking.
Dates: Tuesday and Wednesday 12th and 13th June, 2012. Details below.
I would still like to arrange for a retreat at Blooming Inn, so if you are interested in this please email me. I have put the details for this below as well.

It will be a great pleasure to host him and I hope that as many fibre and mixed media artists in the area will attend this event and learn from him.

Jason says:
"The Art of Textile Collage
This class will be provide a lively and innovative approach to textile collage and
mark-making using fusing and hand and machine stitching, in addition to
drawing and painting tools.
You will repurpose and create patterned and painted small fabric and paper
compositions. Harmony and dissonance, rhythm and mood, color and texture will
be the vocabulary you explore to expand your personal visual language with
expressive, communicative content."
