Introduction to Dye Painting
The
perfect workshop to learn the basic characteristics, recipes, sources &
applications of dye painting. A full array of colors can be mixed with the 3
primaries, & then applied directly to fabric without changing the hand of the
fabric, making it particularly appropriate for quilters. Ann demonstrates &
guides you through the uses of dye mixed in various consistencies, from thin to
thick, & with many possible tools from sponges to rollers. Ann’s goal is that
each student will learn how to adapt the dye techniques to his or her particular
interests and in the process, will create a variety of fabrics that may be used
in future projects. 2 days, March 10 + 11
Design & Quilt with Confidence
An
information-packed 3 days that will boost every quilter’s design & quilting
confidence. Ann will introduce concepts of balance, unity & variety & the basic
design elements that create them--line, shape, color, value, texture, &
pattern--using slides & samples of her work. Various open-ended exercises with
fabric help you apply the ideas to your own work. Ann will demonstrate a
variety of piecing, appliqué, embroidery & quilting techniques. Basic knowledge
of piecing & quilting by machine are required, but Ann will guide you at your
personal level of design & color experience. The course is process- oriented &
though students will pursue their fabric designs through several steps, they
will not be expected to finish all the projects that begin in these
explorations.
3 Days, March
12, 13, & 14
