Mixed Media 10 week course

It is hard to believe the 10 week course is over and I haven't posted one photo since it began. Here is a quick review of what's been going on since the Open Dag!

Early in the program we dyed our fabrics using resists techniques.

We later learned about possibilities with watersoluable stabilizer...

We created some monoprints and got messy with gelatine printing...




Embellishing machines came in handy when we were tired of needle felting the slow way.

All and all it was a lot of fun and a boat load of techniques!

Open Dag een succes!

About time for a new post! The Open Dag was a success despite ice, snow and transportation problems. Here is a sampling of the day!

If you missed it...the next Open Dag is during the Open Ateliersdag Westelijke Eilanden (26 - 28 May, 2012). Join us then!

2 Year Textile Art & Quilt Art Program

Cherilyn Martin joined us for our 3rd class in the 2-year Textile Arts program. It was a busy and successful day mark-making, embroidering by hand and machine and sharing all the creative and inspiring work from the month before. A number of students learned techniques in the Mixed Media course before joining us in the 2 year program. You can too. Sign up for the January class now!

Lutrador les met Ineke Berlyn

Yesterday's class with Ineke Berlyn was jam packed full of new ideas and techniques using Lutrador. We painted, screen printed, fused fabric, and sewed beautiful art pieces. I can't believe people managed to finish an entire project in one day! Impressive! I'll be asking Ineke to come back again soon!
