Zoom workshop for Scottish Contemporary

Members of the Scottish Contemporary group live all over Scotland, from the Highlands and Islands to the Borders, and meet mostly on zoom for talks and workshops.

They kindly invited me to teach a zoom workshop on the Putting on the Glitz technique and it worked very well.

For zoom workshops I send out packs, by post, in advance with a choice of different colourways. The packs include all the fabric, foils, bonded sheers, and glitter film needed for the workshop. The pack also has instructions.

The zoom session is a combination of a powerpoint showing the detail of each technique and live demonstration. The powerpoint is made available to all participants after the workshop too.



Getting the pace right on zoom can be tricky as people work at different speeds. So I make my own demonstration piece alongside the students whilst keeping the zoom link open at all times to be able to offer advice.

This is my blue shards piece from the Scottish Contemporary workshop which I will progress to show at exhibition
