Barbara's Workshops
Responding to the Surface: Nature’s Language
Combine the creative impulse along with one of a kind hand dyed fabrics &
nature’s lines & colors to create a powerful fiber piece. Develop a surface
design in response to the lines & colour of your fabric which has its own
strong voice. In the morning, use visualization to develop a spontaneous
design, in response to the fabric. By after-noon, the central design will be
satin stitched on the fabric. Decorative threads, machine embroidery &
free-form organic quilting lines will add texture to the composition on the
2nd day.
