Mixed Media experimentation.

Messing around again with MIXED MEDIA has produced these pieces.  The first piece has had some stitch applied to build more visual texture.  The last two are “naked”, awaiting thread and needle.   More about this process will be posted shortly…  These pieces are preparation for a 2-day workshop I am teaching in November;  more details are on the ATASDA website.

Contemporary Quilting ‐ Abstraction, Paint & Stitch Workshop

for  ATASDA NSW

 Sat/Sun 12/13 November 2011 at Epping (Sydney).

 This workshop will focus on contemporary quilt making using mixed media and showcasing strong visual imagery.

 Students will be guided in the creation of unique, abstract styled fabrics, using textile paints and Shiva oilstiks on paper and fabric.

Each person will create their own sample using varied machine stitching styles, easy‐peasy free‐motion embroidery work, hand stitching, embellishment methods and the creation of visual texture.   Contact ATASDA NSW for further details.   This workshop is open to members and non-members.

  

Teaching assignment for Quilters’ Guild of NSW Inc.

Held in the Guild’s office – Pitt St, Sydney – on 6/2/10 – we all had a very creative day.  Playing with Angelina, Crystalina, Metallic Foils sparked off these creative minds.   

Starting this workshop was all GO GO GO!     

Their enthusiasm to discover what goodies were in the kit that I provided for them nearly overshot the runway!!!   We launched into these intriguing products, learnt how to apply them and the differences between standard, metallic,   hotfix fibres.   They impressed me with how readily they dived into applying these products into either a landscape or abstract piece of art.

The day ended with lots of smiles and a bag full of good work to finish at home.  

This one-day workshop was a great activity and I can’t wait to see where these ladies take their adventures with these fibres and foils.
