For this evening of Twilight Lates, Vittoria will guide you in revamping old or new notebooks using upcycled fabric and collaging.

You'll spend the evening decorating your notebooks with collage and hand-sewing, either directly on the notebook or by sewing external book covers.
What will be supplied?
A limited number of new paper sketch/notebooks will be available.
Sewing and collaging tools.
A range of up-cycled fabrics and magazines.
What to bring?
Any fabric you’d like to upcycle ex: favourite shirt that's been ruined.
Magazines you’re dying to cut up!
Your notebooks or sketchbooks that you’d like to decorate.
Any collaging/sewing tools of your own if you’d like.
Yourself <3
Vittoria Gay, a London-based interdisciplinary painter, will guide the workshop. Vittoria uses old, unwanted fabric that she sews meaning back into. The process begins with sourcing unwanted textiles such as second-hand clothing and friends’ old underwear. The fabric is then deconstructed, and hand-sewn collages are made into new surfaces. The surfaces are then stretched and layered first with gesso, and then oil paint. With this workshop, Vittoria hopes to inspire people to find new uses for materials once thought to be trash and give these materials a second life!
