*Washable Paper-Cloth* THE WORKSHOP at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts

 

Let’s recycle paper and create art.

Would you like to learn how to make *washable* paper-cloth with recycled newspapers? This is my original technique to obtain a seamless integration of paper on cloth that you can iron, paint and sew by hand or by machine.
I will be teaching it next year in 2023  at Arrowmont’s School of Arts and Crafts https://www.arrowmont.org/workshops-classes/
It will be held from June 18^th to 23^rd yup one whole week with me, so you can learn the *nitty gritty* of this technique. The class will be small for only for 10 students. That’s why I am announcing it here, since many of you were interested. You can take advantage of the early registration that opens on December 1^st . You can call # 865-436-5860.

What else we will learn?

We will also learn how to create our own fabric paint. It will be formulated for the exact

 color we want. This paint formula can then be used for matching future color project. We will work with our own resist, do repeats and add colored backgrounds. How to cut silkscreens by hand. Then we will learn how to prepare magazine clippings to easily applique by hand on to cloth. The last day we will design a small collage with the paper-cloths we made and sew accented details by hand.

Let me know if you have any questions!

*Improv Half-Square Triangle* the Workshop

 

NEW  Workshop; it's called Improv Half Square Triangle

6 hour or two 3 hours workshop

Let's play with one of the top quilt block units in quilting and make it your own!

With just a few materials you can easily add a POP of color to your quilt blocks. This is an ideal way to use up leftover fabric from other projects and create an entire new quilt. The design possibilities are endless. It’s a perfect technique for working in small spaces.  

We will paint a detail on a white piece of cloth and combine it with a colorful fabric to create our block. Basic instructions will be given and each student can create their own design. Lots of fun!

I hope you can join me and share your time with me doing art!
