Using examples of what I do with all those stimulating creative ideas, words, phrases, photo's, magazine clippings or miscellaneous day to day ephemera. How to trap them before they escape my memory or grasp and are lost or gone forever. This lecture includes an unusual trunk show, from idea journals, scrapbooks, inspiration boards to the art piece that results. Of course I have more inspiration than finished items. Embellishing your quilts that is, at least I can't. I went from being a traditional quiltmaker to using anything that was within my line of vision, grasp and even my husbands stashes....okay, okay his "Collections", to embellish my work. There is a way to attach anything if you give it some creative thought. Trunk show included. Thirty-three years ago when I began quilting, I did so like many others using tradional patterns and techniques. Soon I realized I didn't like the repitition of sewing traditional blocks, but I had an overwhelming need to creatively express myself and the tactile quality of fiber kept me in quilting. Following my own drummer, I began the exploration of a non-traditional styles. I have pursued a more contemporary quilting route, today finding myself working more and more in mixed-media to achieve that same "need" for creative expression. Please call us at 404-705-9164 for pricing on workshops. Has a wonderful quilt caught your eye while viewing a recent quilt show, leaving you wondering how they did that? OR Have you picked up a book, pattern or magazine and found the supply list full of non-traditional supplies you have no idea how to use. In this workshop you will play with a few of those products such as Angelina, cellophane, Tyvek, foil and even different types of fusible’s to create a highly embellished seascape. $45/person includes kit Supply list will be provided upon booking.  Leave Your Fingerprints on the Page- 3.5 hour class Make a small simple accordion style book the size of a postcard. Use non-traditional supplies, such as Lutradur, Angelina, cheesecloth, watercolor paints, photo’s printed on fabric, embellishment’s and more to create your own unique book. You may choose to make each page individualized or your book may have one continuous theme. This is truly a mixed-media project. $45/person includes kit Supply list will be provided upon booking. Supply/Usage Fee: $10.00  Landscape Painting With Fabric- 3 hour class Step out of your comfort zone in this workshop where you will create two small scale landscapes. When working in such a small size it is important to maintain the appropriate scale, as well as using “values” to create a sense of depth visually in the landscape. View your “stash” with new eyes, wrong sides of fabric, fussy cutting to create nature’s elements or even using “bitz” of fancies to give shine or shadow. Your finished art can simply be framed like a painted landscape and the second worn as a pendant for all to admire. $45/person includes kit Supply list will be provided upon booking.  Mixed Media Collage - 3 hour class Don't we all need instant gratification? While in the midst of all those large quilting projects sometimes we just need to feel like we've accomplished something. Collages are the perfect way to get that sense of completion to keep you moving. In this workshop, you will work with both fabric and paper. You will create two 5 x 7" collages. One will be fabric based and the other will be on a watercolor paper background that you create yourself. You will also create four Artist Trading Cards that you may choose to swap at the end of class. This class uses TAP, Misty-Fuse, cheesecloth, painting, stamping, scrapbooking supplies, embellishments and ephemera. $40/person includes kit Supply list will be provided upon booking.  |
