Formed by individuals with like interests in 2019, IFAB is diverse, inclusive, and offers equal opportunities to participate and learn together. As a relatively new group, we attract members from a wide area.
Our February meeting is Introduction to Cloth Dolls and Soft Sculpture. In this workshop, we will dive into the basics of making cloth dolls and soft sculptures - playful, expressive forms that blend sewing, shaping, and imagination. Kathy Adams will demonstrate foundational techniques, and you'll begin crafting your own simple doll using fabric, stuffing, and hand-stitching. While we won't have time to complete the dolls in class, you'll leave with a strong start and the skills to continue on your own. no experienced needed - just curiosity and a willingness to experiment!
Our March meeting is an Inktense Presentation by Sandi Rieber. Inktense pencils can help you create a hand drawn picture, painted background, or to color in specific designs on your fabric. If you have these, please bring them or we will have items to share - Inktense pencils/blocks, textile medium, light colored PDF fabric, fabric markers (both permanent and disappearing), paint brushes, plastic table covers, small containers for water. Be sure to wear an apron or bring a paint shirt. Sometimes it can get messy!
