Fabric Collage - For Fabric Addicts and Adventurous Spirits
In this 2 ½ hour workshop, students will learn techniques for creating mixed media collages with fabric on canvas. This is an opportunity to dive into gorgeous textiles and notions, to explore and create something fabulous. Participants will have access to a large selection of beautiful cotton, silk and synthetic prints and solid colors, rolls of multi colored sequins and other trim. Students are encouraged to bring additional materials, including found objects, if they wish.
There is no sewing involved-- we are approaching this from a painter’s point of view. You will be guided in ways to create a composition, to cut and glue textiles. The process of making a fabric collage involves openness and improvisation, and the approach is “Yes, and!” You may choose a template or work solely from your imagination—there is no wrong way.
Fabric addicts and adventurous spirits welcome!
