Off the Wall and Onto the Page
This
is one of my favorite workshops. Every participant ends up with a
unique and very personal result. For extended workshops, "Off the Wall"
combines welll with "Pushing the Surface Sampler" and "the Color of
Light'.
Combine mixed media and multiple ideas; working in a
folding book format. Two sided images, free standing forms and more are
possible in this workshop
Pushing the Surface: a Sampler of Techniques
Explore a variety of approaches to create and change surface color and texture. Color, marks, layers, materials and techniques.
Participant Supplies:
-Anything
at all that appeals to you: odds and ends: e.g. photos (on fabric or
paper), fabric, re-cycled quilt pieces, found objects, collage bits and
pieces – no limit except your imagination and common sense.
-Include textures, papers, special fabrics found objects, paints, scrap-booking supplies – if it appeals, it is welcome.
-At least 1/3 yard of PFD fabric or other good cotton (white)
-Basic sewing supplies, including embroidery threads are a good idea.
-At
least 1/3 yard of one of the following: Peltex, Timtex or Fast 2 Fuse.
These are heavy duty stabilizers, found in general sewing departments.

you will be sewing, your machine must be in good working order, you
will need 90/14 needles, construction thread and a variety of feet.
