Meet our Teachers
Jack Ravi
Jack Ravi is a collage and mixed media artist whose work explores the intersection of memory, nostalgia, and the power of found objects. Rooted in curiosity and wonder, his artistic process is a personal, meditative journey, driven by a profound emotional connection to the materials he uses.
In his art, Jack explores how memories shape our identities and how the objects that once held meaning can be reimagined to evoke new emotions. Jack's work seeks deeper connections with the world, inviting to pause, look closer, and reconnect with our own memories and stories.
He also shares his process through workshops and retreats, fostering community and creative empowerment. His teaching style is rooted in mindfulness, offering a space for individuals to explore their own curiosity through book making and mixed media.
Jack is the co-author of ‘Artful Memories: How to Create Unique Art with Old Photographs’ with Jane Chipp.
He currently lives and works in Scotland.

The Art of the Found
What makes us stop and notice an old photograph, a scrap of fabric, a weathered piece of paper or an object that has been discarded? And what happens when we take these fragments out of their original context and give them a new life?
In this two-day hands-on workshop, Jane Chipp and Jack Ravi explore the creative possibilities of found materials, photographs, objects and ephemera. Through a series of exercises, demonstrations and experiments, you’ll discover how you can turn ordinary fragments into something unexpected.
You’ll be encouraged to work intuitively, experiment without worrying about the outcome, and look at familiar materials in new ways. Jane and Jack will share their unique approaches to working with images, collage, textiles, objects and mixed media.
Across the two days, you’ll develop your own collection of fragments and experiments before bringing them together into a finished mixed-media artwork that reflects your own way of seeing.
