Jackie Abrams workshop started

Well today was the first day of my Jackie Abrams workshop, I had a great day and learnt all sorts of new things. Jackie is a lovely teacher and one who passes on all her little secrets and tricks. Not all teachers are willing to do this and it helps to make the difference between a good teacher and a great teacher.

We spent the day working on a bias plaited basket, made from rag paper that we hand painted at the start of the day.

Below are some of the photos of my work from today.

The strips of paper that I painted for my basket.
