Process & Possibilities is an online course designed to keep you connected to your art practice, finding solutions with papers, paint and textiles.
Step back in time as Cordula Kagemann, takes you behind the scenes, into her 300-year-old farmhouse in Germany, to learn her signature process that has continued to sustain her art practice for over 15 years. This is a special opportunity to be guided methodically through the processes and techniques that have made Cordula one of Europe’s most recognisable abstract collage artists.
Cordula’s gentle tuition will open up a world of possibilities. Armed with a new approach, you’ll move forward with confidence knowing how to create a coherent body of artwork you are proud to share.
All course materials, including streaming videos, actionable tasks and downloadable resource guides are within an easy to use member portal with lifetime access.
You’ll be able to ask questions, get feedback and solve the puzzle of collage as you connect directly with Cordula and fellow Process & Possibilities students through a private online community, including live Q&A’s.
When life is feeling heavy and dark it shouldn’t leave you feeling disconnected from your art. But it often does…if you don’t grasp the importance of daily creative rituals.
Through a multitude of exercises including small image composition studies, creating bespoke collage material and abstract paper cuts , you will explore different ways to stay connected to your artwork and move through creative blocks finding solutions with papers, paint and textiles ensuring you’re prepared when inspiration strikes!
My art reflects my life in an abstract way and is my way of expressing what I am not able to vocalize.
Living in an old house in the countryside for the past thirteen years has influenced my art. Being surrounded by nature and observing its constant change has shifted the focus of my art making toward exploring the themes of time and transience.
I create my work in solitude and lose myself completely in the process letting the image find its path and just let the magic happen. I am fascinated by the materiality of papers and of the possibilities and textures that develop in the process of creating.
Using my own experiences and sometimes my own photos as a starting point I aim to bring the image into universalization by abstraction. The images symbolize the process of life, the gathering of experiences and impressions, the ageing, the remembering and forgetting as well as everything cyclic in nature that is often represented by the use of the shape of the circle in my work.
I look forward to sharing my process and techniques with you in my signature online class Process & Possibilities.
Thank you so much for an amazing course, Cordula. It came at just the right time for me as I really wanted to explore collage in more depth. I love your gentle and patient way of teaching and demonstrating, and I now have a range of exciting techniques to use in my work.
This course continues to be such an inspiration, Cordula. Thank you so much for sharing your unique process, ideas, and gentle, grounded wisdom.
Oh Lovely to hear from you Cordula. I am so immersed in paper, tissue, transfers, Printing ideas, photos, Cutouts and also, colours and patterns swamp my waking and sleeping brain. Your course was fantastic, and it’s so great to have it to refer to if I forget something or want more inspiration. Thank you a hundred times for coming into my home and teaching me.
The course came to me at the most perfect time. I feel very lucky to have “studied” with you and I will take your teachings as far as I can into what I find is my own shape and style. Hopefully. And I’m hungry now to keep learning more about what I want to convey with my art. Really lucky I stumbled upon your course.
Thank you Cordula. I can only echo what the other course participants have said. It has been a very special time for me too and amazing to think of how it has brought such a geographically spread group of like minded people together
Cordula, it has been such a joy to participate in this course and facebook group. The community is so positive and supporting because that is what you and Ang have encouraged. I learned a lot, not “just” techniques but also trusting my own process and will definitely revisit the course.
I’ve admired and loved your work for a long time, and when I saw that the course was being offered, I had to sign up. Best decision ever!!! Not a single moment wasted. Thanks so much for such a wonderful workshop.
I have also thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful Course with you Cordula, and will be continuing to use all the fabulous techniques you have shared with us. Thank you so much for your generosity, and positive input. Thanks also to Fibre Arts Take Two for facilitating these great online workshops, long may they continue!
So I have watched through all the modules and thoroughly enjoyed it all Cordula Kagemann!! I almost wish each segment were longer, although they were perfect for “bite sized” pieces.
I will let it all sink in and try out the various ideas I got.
I am mostly excited about the textile sheet! This was brilliant and I enjoyed making it and ripping it up for a piece I made. This is something I will continue with and make it into my own style.
I just want to thank Fibre Arts Take Two and Cordula Kagemann for what has to be the best course I have ever taken (and I am a serial course taker!)
What makes it the best IMHO, firstly Cordula Kagemann is a very calm and inspiring teacher who manages to get her lessons across in a way that is easy for beginners to follow and implement yet inspiring enough for the most experienced. Cordula takes her time to explain, everything! She is very generous when sharing her knowledge and she really does share! The filming captures everything she does and not many, if any, mistakes are hidden. Cordula actually uses those mistakes as an ideal opportunity to teach yet another lesson.
Great to explore new techniques to discover what you love and want to incorporate into your work. Gentle, thoughtful and inspiring, Cordula.
I have loved Cordula’s gentle teaching. What a lovely person she is. We have been given so many great pointers in regards to creating collage and papers and assembling our efforts to make the “finished work”. Inspiring, thoughtful and generous teaching. My gain has been huge and I haven’t completed the course yet!!
