All April, 2020 meetings and workshops have been cancelled.  You CAN use an existing piece of art to inspire your own original creation. In this class, students will come to class with pictures of OTHER people’s artwork — paintings, sculptures, buildings or even another quilter’s art. We will discover ways of looking at the work and extracting ideas that will inspire us to create something entirely original.  Monday Workshop, April 27: Pieced Iconography  You may enroll and pay by credit card by clicking here   Expect to be reacquainted with your imagination in this special workshop. We will use a variety of experiences specifically designed to reconnect you with your unique creative self. This is not a “how to” class, but a hands on trip down the rabbit hole in search of each participant’s creative potential. Students need a sketchbook, nothing specific and inexpensive markers. There is a $15/student fee for my book which we will use in the afternoon.   Supply List Participants make small whole cloth paintings, learning to use different materials for making marks on fabric. Color theory and the principles of design will be a big part of this experience, as will my special theory of “embrace the blob.” We will discuss creativity theories, blocks and useful techniques to push ourselves closer to creative bliss. I provide all supplies for your use. You just bring a paint shirt and your imagination! You may enroll and pay by credit card by clicking here June, 2020: Marjan Kluepfel  You will become familiar with the principles of color theory, fabric dyeing using Procion fiber reactive dyes, and many surface design techniques such as immersion dyeing to create color progressions or value gradations; dye painting; ice-dyeing; bleach discharge; resist techniques; shibori; stamping and stenciling.   Learn how to make three-dimensional quilted fabric sculptures. In this 6-hour class you will make a quilted vase, bowl, or flower, but with the technique taught in this class, you can create many different quilted 3D shapes. Your imagination is the limit... |
