Louise Nason, artist in residence 2009

Our artist-in-residence, Louise Nason is running the last workshops of her residency over the next few weeks, the first, on the 28 November is a natural dye workshop where she will be showing how to use a range of, not surprisingly, natural dyes such as cutch and indigo which she uses in her work. The second and final one is a children’s weaving workshop on 22 December. Looking ahead we have Louise’s exhibition, ‘Fabricate, a woven response to place’ which will show the results of her 8 month residency at St George’s. She will also be showing some of the work made by local people as part of the project. During her project Louise has involved lots of people in making their own work or responding in some way to the ideas she has brought to them but she has also had the opportunity to investigate different ways of working herself. So we are really looking forward to seeing the culmination of this time.
