Workshop Description
Playing With Paint, Creating A Series – all skill levels
Using transparent and opaque textile paints, and already painted or dyed fabric from home and combining these with purchased fabric, we will create three small quilt tops (12″ x 12″ – 15″ x 15″ each) for a series. I will share how work evolves into a series for me, discuss how one piece leads to another. We will focus on experimenting, generally painting half the time and composing half the time, though each participant will work at her/his own pace. We will learn how to look at the finished results as a group, establishing a way to be objective about our own and others’ work in order to use constructive criticism as a positive tool for ourselves. Prepare to have fun and PRODUCE!
