Create a layered fabric collage using slow stitching and intuitive composition. Start with loose scraps of fabric and paper, and gently build into a cohesive textile piece. By the end, you’ll have a tactile artwork that can stand alone or become a journal cover.

Debasree Dey

Debasree Dey is an intuitive mixed media artist and educator from India, known for her love of textures, layers and vintage-inspired, earthy colour palettes. A former IT engineer, she left the corporate world to follow a more tactile and expressive creative path.

Collage is an important part of Debasree’s practice. She works with layered papers along with fabrics and stitched elements to add depth and texture to her art journals and mixed-media pieces.

Inspired by nature, travel, and everyday surfaces, her work reflects a slowing down and a willingness to let materials lead. Since 2016, Debasree has taught nearly 20,000 students worldwide, encouraging artists to trust their intuition, work with what they have, and create fearlessly.
