We will create a wonderful book and its accompanying box in this class. The accordion book may be any theme you wish, family, flowers, pets, poetry, and anything else your heart desires. It can celebrate a certain person and maybe be used as a gift for them. Bring anything you can find, pictures from magazines, text, and old letters (bring photocopies, not originals) that will make your book special. Or… no theme at all, just miscellaneous goodies we find. I will have hundreds of fun things to add to your book.
We will collage the box the first day, and make the book the next day, so you will have time to find ideas (and 'stuff'!) of your own to include.
SILK-PAINTING – two-afternoon class 3 hrs. each day
Learn to paint on silk with cold water dyes that can be 'set' with just an iron. Working with water-soluble resist, silk fabric, and beautiful dyes, we'll create colorful works of art.
On the first day, we will practice using resist and make a 'sampler' with some of the methods of dyeing silk. Then we will work on a design for the scarf that you will be creating in the next day’s class.
You will take home a scarf of your unique design as well as the wooden stretchers (optional) if you decide to continue to work at this great art!
