Every day is a balance of making and moving. Mornings might begin with a gelli printing session in the studio — pulling marks, building a library of hand-made collage papers textured with Marrakech's palette of rust, indigo, and ochre. Afternoons take you into the city with a sketchbook and camera, gathering fragments: a carved archway, a bolt of fabric in the souks, the shadow geometry of a riad courtyard.

Photography is woven throughout as a sketchbook tool, not a separate discipline. You'll learn to photograph with collage in mind — collecting textures, light, and pattern as raw material to bring back to the studio table. All of it feeds the layered mixed-media work Ivy is known for: intuitive, richly textured, and entirely your own.
