About this 4 Day Workshop with Peg Gignoux
Explore ways to blend color, line and gesture with cloth and paper. We will begin by making a suite of mono printed papers through touch drawing on tissue. We will continue our explorations with translucency by dyeing lengths of silk organza. We will dip lengths of watercolor paper into the dye waste to transform whites into new soft tones of color. Using the visual tools of collage, we will play with silk and papers to layer, slice and build new surfaces. Workshop will include demos regarding fusing, gluing and stitching materials. Design prompts to include repetition of simple geometric forms to yield a rhythmic mixed media paperscape.

Translucent silk, paper, thread, dye, and ink are some of the ingredients that I enjoy working with as a textile artist and educator. I create textile collages, mixed media and installations for gallery exhibitions and public buildings. I also maintain an active teaching artist practice- collaborating with youth in diverse populations and facilitating interdisciplinary community arts projects that land in NC libraries, schools, museums, and hospitals as picture books and /or large scale art installations. I maintain a creative writing practice and enjoy making and teaching handmade books. For twenty years I have led annual summer art retreats to Chateau du Pin, Val de Loire, France. In 2023, I established the Le Pin Residency.I received a BA in English from Kenyon College and a Masters of Industrial Design in Fibers from NCSU, College of Design. gignouxart.com
