FALL 2012
Imagine
yourself as a fabric designer. You’ve seen it on Project Runway. Now you can
design your own fabric. Whether you are looking for fabric for sewing,
embellishing, quilting and crafting, the ability to design and print your own
fabric by the yard is one of the most significant advancements in printing
technology. The possibilities are endless. You will receive an introduction to
the FOD (fabric on demand), a basic lesson in digital design and the basics of
surface design elements. When you finish this class you will have a fabric
design ready for printing by the yard. Bring your photos, sketches and family
recipes; bring your favorite child drawing or your family letter…let’s see what
we can do!
Innovative Inkjet Printer Fabric Designs –Printers Gone Wild
Being
able to print your own fabric is the ultimate creative high for any sewer or
crafter. Come and see how you can push the limits with your printer to create a
variety of colorfast and washable fabrics. My techniques offer a refreshing
approach that will unleash the designing “angels” in anyone. These aren't iron
transfers, this is fabric! Participates will create exciting designs using
making ordinary objects, found items and original art. My policy is, if it can go through my printer,
I am going to print on it. You’ll discover your printer’s capacity and change
the way you use it. Pretty soon you’ll be given your printer as much love as
your sewing machine.
Fat Quarter Stash Candy – Sweetness in Color.
Make a rainbow of colors with dyes, prints and stamps. Basically,
participates paint 4 fat quarters using many household items and easy to find
materials for dying and printing designs on their ready to sew fabric. Heck we may
even explore some techniques together to learn as we go. Ever wanted to know
what would happen if you use some unconventional tools and mediums to resist,
print and stamp? Well, Let’s explore together.
Paper Making, Oh My!!- “Pulp”poseful Fun
Making
paper is easier and more exciting than you ever knew. You can learn a new
environmental friendly craft that addictive and innovative. We will learn some
basics and explore the unlimited possibilities of paper making. Make a journal,
some artsy business cards and more!!
Plus, I promise, there’s a sewing machine involved.
