While Social Distancing…

In an effort to keep in touch with one another during this closure we thought it might be interesting to send out little bits of information about what you are doing during this time off. 

Be well!

This is a piece I made during this time of social distancing called “Chinese Shoes.” I was watching the runway videos of costume designer Guo Pei— fabulous and wild clothing.

 I’m working on embroidered collaged pieces that aren’t square or rectangular but freeform shapes that are improvised with each piece of fabric added.

Surface Design on Fabric

by

Explore the world of surface design techniques through guided demonstrations and your own experiments with textile paint on any type of textile.  Flour paste resists, a unique and easy airbrush technique and use of all of my handmade stamps and stencils give students time and opportunity to experiment.  A supply list will be sent upon paid registration.  Two days.  $200 plus $15 for materials.

Monoprinting

Using a plexiglass plate and textile paint to explore surface design techniques, students experiment with an unending process to create exciting patterns both amorphous and detailed.  These printed fabrics are wonderful for quilting, embroidery, dollmaking and more. A supply list will be sent upon paid registration. One day.  $100 plus $5 for materials.
