The Magic of Transparency: Printing on Fabrics Workshop with Bonnie Lewis

Learn how sheer fabrics digitally printed with your images and/or words can create surprisingly interesting and unique dimensional surfaces in your artwork!
Learn how to:

• Print images on organza fabric with an inkjet printer.
• Look at various artists that are using printed sheer fabrics as their art form alone, or incorporating them into their artwork using a variety of techniques.
• Various ways to use your printed sheer fabric in your mixed media artworks.

Everyone will get to take home 2-3 mixed media artworks on paper and canvas combining your printed fabrics with painting and/or drawing, plus you'll leave inspired to print your own fabrics and use them in interesting, new, and creative ways!
