Eszter Bornemisza is a fiber artist living in Budapest, Hungary.
She creates wall-hangings, installations and objects from the ubiquitous material of waste newspaper and cloth. The choice of material plays a central role in her work as it provides further visual experiences by their ephemeral character.
Originally a mathematician, she started working with textiles in the late '90-ties with exploring her own ways in surface design and quilting. She has extensively exhibited internationally and won several prizes.
Her teaching experience goes back for more than 15 years; she has held classes and workshops all over in European countries.

Expressions with Maps
The workshop will offer a wide range of techniques to transfer map motives onto textile and paper with various printing and cutting methods to achieve personal expressions.
Creating open, translucent pieces using water solvable film will be explained and exercised.
Participants will use their own maps and sketches to make samples, the fragments of which will be assembled to create layered collages to express associations and feelings about the living environment.
Using map as a metaphor will be widely discussed during the process and students will be helped and encouraged to create their own personal interpretations of the theme.
