A Fine Balance (Detail)
Disperse dyed using painting, marbling and xerox transfer techniques.
Artist: Lisa Grey
The workshop will encourage us to think differently, make marks using original materials, and especially challenge us to develop our designer capabilities. I am very excited about the prospect of working with and learning from Lisa and I hope you will be too.
Lisa is very highly respected teacher and practising artist who produces sumptuous works that are now exhibited and sold internationally. She is famous for her application of disperse dye to produce spectacular marbled surfaces. Combinations of her printed and dyed fabrics with her photographic imagery provide a refreshing take on surface design.Lisa is a member of the Surface Design Association and the representative for New Hampshire, USA.
She has taught at numerous locations to excellent reviews. Her skills in troubleshooting and creative problem solving add to the supportive environment she creates in the classroom.
Her philosophies, galleries and methods can be viewed on her delicious website.
This from her biography "I have served on the boards of the Surface Design Association and North Country Studio Workshops and spent many years supporting local art teachers by volunteering to lead workshops in elementary and middle school. I firmly believe that everyone is artistic. and delight in sharing tools and techniques to bring the joy of creation alive."

“Creativity involves several different processes that wind through each other...generating new ideas, imagining different possibilities, considering alternative options.”
Excerpt from The Element by Ken Robinson
"This workshop will challenge participants to start with what is familiar, then venture into unexplored territory in discovering how to approach our work in new ways. We will create tools from found objects in order to print and pattern recycled and reclaimed papers and fabrics, then make a series of small compositions generated from simple, playful design exercises. We will consider ways to further alter the surface by cutting, tearing, reassembling, layering and stitching. Along the way we will evaluate our work both individually and collectively with the end goal of using supplies and knowledge we already have, combined and integrated with new ideas and techniques into concrete plans for further exploration. Above all, we will endlessly question, yet trust our instincts as we imagine alternative possibilities."
