Glenesk Retreat and Folk Museum, 10:00-13:00, 14:00-16:00 Friday 21 September
Tessa Mendez works mainly with textiles and mostly with felt, drawing on
nature, architecture and art for design ideas, at times playing with colour
and texture in fibres and letting the resulting fabric suggest a use. Her
work
is frequently embellished with hand- or machine embroidery, beading and
wire, each piece being individual. She makes fine garments, bags, hats, book
covers, jewellery, vessels or soft sculptures and ‘paintings’ in fibres.
Find out all
about using felt and other fibres in this exciting workshop (please note
there is
a charge to cover the cost of materials). An exhibition of Tessa’s work will
be
housed for the duration of BAF 2007 in The Glenesk Retreat and Folk Museum.
