Fusion – Combining Paper and Fibre with Eszter Bornemisza
Course Overview
This workshop explores a wide range of techniques for fusing paper with textiles. Participants will experiment with various types of paper—including tissue paper, mulberry paper, newsprint, computer prints and paper pulp—and apply them to fabrics with different textures.
Through cutting, tearing, and stitching into grids, students will begin to develop their own visual language. The focus will be on creating open, translucent samples by manipulating meshes and using everyday, off-the-shelf materials, allowing students to repurpose and revitalize old or discarded artworks.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own prints and sketches to create sample pieces. These fragments will be layered and assembled into expressive collages that reflect personal associations and feelings about the living environment.
