THOUSAND ISLANDS SUMMER SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS 2014....Week Long Study Opportunities...
FIVE STUDENTS NEEDED TO RUN!!! Come PLAY!
Surface Design and Stitch
Date(s): 7/21/2014 - 7/28/2014
This full week course in our Textile Design Program will prepare the diploma program participant or general interest student to create their own original hand
coloured and stitched textile projects. The course is for anyone who has
ever wanted to step out of the box, leave the familiar and perhaps
traditional behind and create one of a kind quilts or embroidery while
learning the foundations of design, stitch, pattern development and
finishing of quilts, home décor, wearables or wall art.
Students
will explore color, support their knowledge of design principles and
build all new work while spending time in the classroom divided between
working into a sketchbook with art and design techniques. Printing, painting, dye work, collage, and stitch work are all a part of the fun! Students
will create hand made cloth, samples or several large pieces with special effects on fabrics. The planning and successful execution of original small quilts or
stitched fabrics using a wide variety of new techniques is the goal. Students are
encouraged to complete several small classroom projects which are
stitched by hand or machine, framed/bound and ready to enjoy.
A
material fee of $40.00 to cover the cost of paints and dyes, some tools
and fabrics/threads for small class samples is payable to the
instructor on the first day.
