Carole Waller (http://www.carolewaller.co.uk/) was an excellent and enthusiastic teacher and had some really interesting work to show and great techniques. Lots of further information from her handouts too. I really liked how she layered different materials to give glimpses of memory and thoughts.
I went back to Natasha Kerr (a favourite of mine) who works in a historical and personal context - V&A says "Natasha Kerr creates complex, multi-layered objects that resonate with the hidden histories of family heirlooms and everyday objects". She uses materials such as transfer prints, silk screen prints, hand painting, and hand stitching. www.natashakerr.co.uk - there's an interesting newspaper article as well http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sponsored/thefriday/6121158/Family-history-Natasha-Kerr-The-Friday.html
Referring back to exhibitions I had seen recently - I looked at Lizzie Cannon's Lichenography which I had seen in The Art of the Stitch in 2008. She takes photographs of textile 'lichens' camouflaged against paved surfaces within an urban landscape. This work reminded me of the detail in some of my photographs but I did not want to go towards stitch for this project.
