Upcoming workshop ... spaces still open

I will be teaching a fun five-day workshop at Sorrento Centre in April and there is still time to sign up . . . 

Painting Fabric Painting Quilts: Exploring Textile Paints on Fabric

Quilt Week 2016 – Sorrento Centre
Friday, April 22 to Thursday, April 28

This is a relaxing workshop in which you will explore a variety of  techniques for transforming fabric with textile paints and Derwent Inktense pencils and blocks. Textile paints can transform a finished quilt or be used to create unique painted fabric.  Use techniques including sun printing, monoprinting, salt, resists, shibori designs, textile paints and Shiva Paintstiks to kick your quilts up a notch. Create a painted tablerunner. Make unique coordinating fibre art beads. Explore eco printing on fabric with leaves we gather from the garden. This will be a relaxing experimental five-day workshop to discover aspects of painted surface design with me as I delight in unlocking the artist in you! No experience needed.  Come play with us!

Studio paints and supplies will be provided for a lab fee of $25. PFD (prepared for dyeing) fabric can be purchased from me at the workshop.

Check out Sorrento Centre's website for costs, which can be tailored to your needs ... from full accommodation and meals to simply the workshop as a day student.
