Fabric Painting with Denise Labadie (2 day class)
The Journey
In this hands-on 2-day fabric painting workshop participants learn techniques to create uniquely textured and colored fabric. The focus is on how best to mix, apply, and layer paint; how to create and use resists; and how to cause (and control) layer-by-layer differential paint absorption, diffusion, blending, patterning, and mottling. Each participant completes the class with a collection of their own unique and highly textured fabric. Two days, 9-3PM, $355, includes materials.
Denise is constantly asked about the "stone", landscape, and sky fabrics that she uses in her quilts. There is not much commercial fabric with the types of colors, textures, depth, and complexity that many quilters are looking for. So Denise -- and participants -- create their own!
In this hands-on fabric painting workshop participants learn (some oftentimes rather surprising) techniques for using sun-reactive transparent color paints to create uniquely textured and colored fabric. The focus is on how best to mix, apply, and layer paint; how to create and use resists; and how to cause (and control) layer-by-layer differential paint absorption, diffusion, blending, patterning, and mottling. The two days of hands-on painting ensures plenty of time for "guided experimentation" and techniques exploration.
Each participant completes the two days with a collection of their own highly textured fabric in the colors and textures that they themselves have selected to bring depth and complexity to their art quilt projects.
Two full days (9:00 AM - 3:00PM ) for $355 which includes materials.
