‘Collage is a metaphor for any discovering, gathering ad reweaving of energy bits already formed and present in the universe. A new and personal creation can be made from the ever-present divine chaos of images all around us. Just choose, assemble, name and then inhabit your SoulCollage® cards’
-Seena Frost. Originator/birther of SoulCollage®

When we come together to make SoulCollage® in community, amazing things happen. 
There is a magic in the paradoxes built into this journey  that only requires you coming along with your curiosity and imagination.

No artistic genius recquired whatsoever. Just your presence!

Images have things to say to us. 

They can call us through our hearts, our instinctual knowing, and our open intuitive minds. 
In this sense, images offer us potals and openings to a deep wisdom stream.
All you need to do is be open to the images that are asking for your attention. Then you make a collage, then you listen to what it wants you to know. It is simple, and prodound. 




Because SoulCollage® is a transformational experience, it is hard to convery this in writing. 


Here are some things people have said about a SoulCollage® session at The Soul Shed: 

"Loved this workshop, from start to finish it made my heart sing.  It was a feast for the soul with words and images that were crafted into something rich and deep for me" -J.E

"What stood out for me was how it just happened ....one thing alchemised into another thing” - L.B

"I'd describe it as a good way to reconnect with your creative side, relax and maybe gain insight into what is happening inside you" - D.F.


This is an in place event in a creative studio in the delightful village of Hartley Wintney. You might like to linger after we close and take a look at the local crafts and antique shops, or take a stroll around the village green just outside of where we will be for the day. It is really quite unique. 



Getting there: Full directions by car  to the venue will come in the follow up to your booking. There is free weekend parking. The nearest train  station is Winchfield.

TEA 'N CHAT - LINDA HARVEY - Textile Artist
1 APRIL 2025
TIME: 7-8pm  
 FREE EVENT
This event is held on ZOOM, so please register to get the Zoom details.



Join us for a FREE Tea 'N Chat with Textile artist and teacher LINDA HARVEY who talks about her work.
We are excited to have the immensely talented mixed-media textile artist Linda Harvey join us for our April Tea 'N Chat event. With over 25 years of experience in both teaching and creating, Linda brings a deep well of knowledge and a true passion for her craft. As the Head of Textiles at Archbishop Holgate's School in York and a dedicated member of York Textile Artists and The Society for Embroidered Work, Linda's commitment to her art is truly inspiring.
Linda’s artwork is a mesmerizing fusion of rustic textures and innovative techniques. Drawing inspiration from her travels, she transforms photographs into expressive, abstract textile creations. Her work beautifully reflects her love for color and texture, incorporating elements such as hand-felted backgrounds, free-motion embroidery, intricate layering, and rust dyeing.

LINDA HARVEY  Textile Artist and Head of Textiles at Archbishop Colgate School, York

Linda studied Textiles and Surface Design at University Centre Somerset, graduating in 1994. She is a textile artist and Head of Textiles at a York secondary school and a member of York Textile Artists and The Society for Embroidered Work, which promotes and supports the best in stitched art worldwide.
The inspiration for her work mainly comes from the places she visits, taking photographs of anything that catches her eye. These photographs give a starting point from which her work evolves, often working on several pieces at a time, as she enjoys an expressive and experimental way of working.
Linda is inspired by rustic textures and the ageing process, drawn to anything corroded and tarnished and immediately seeing how it can be turned into a textile art piece. Colour and texture are the key elements in her work.



The Textiles Skills Centre Associates are a team of volunteers that manage the social media platforms and website, and offer support, mentorship and advice to textile teachers and trainees. We organise free resource networking events each month (Tea 'N Chat) and are always on hand to help and encourage when needed.
We are always looking for new Associate members, so if you would like to join this small team then do contact us at: info@textileskillscentre.com
