Dyeing, painting and printing on cloth...a full week of devoted studio practice
This
journey will help you to step ‘out of the box’, away from the familiar,
and start to create contemporary, one of a kind art quilts or “Modern”
bed quilts as you study the foundations of design. Your focus will be on
creating art work that can be used in your studio practice, developing
that new commitment to a series that can carry on long after our week
together.
You
will explore color, work every morning into a course sketchbook with
art and design techniques, and explore hands on sampling of MANY
techniques for special effects on fabrics including the
creation/stitching of all new small pieces of art work each afternoon in
the classroom... lots of time to STITCH! Machine or hand work - your
choice!
Day One: Flat and immersion dyeing of fabric (see photo above)
Day Two: Indigo dye instruction including shibori (see photo below)
Day Three: Soy wax batik, and art quilt design time in afternoon
Day Four: Fabric painting using COLOUR VIE and acrylics, gel and screen printing
Day Five: Experiment with nuno/wet felting
As
you create, choose your own favourite techniques to develop all new,
original art. You will enjoy working along with your classmates, sharing
ideas, and developing confidence in “design wall” exercises while you
take this opportunity to stitch up a storm!
During
this 5 full days of studio art play you will listen to your intuition
and find the confidence to make independent decisions that will produce
art/quilts strong in colour and design. The goal is creating new work,
using fibre as your medium and having a great and fun filled week with
old and new friends along the way..
Supplies list provided with paid registration... and we encourage you to use your STASH!
Come play!
