Check out our local Fiber Arts Collective – a fabulous combination of art gallery, working studios and fabric/notion shop – https://fiberartscollective.com/
As a member of the Fiber Arts Collective I show in the art gallery plus I manage the website and the library. I am also a workshop instructor. A sample of workshops I have provided are shown below.
Using waxed threads we will explore looping techniques on a selection of river rocks. This technique has endless application and can be used to cover a variety of materials.
Coiling on a Unique Handmade Clay Base
Have fun learning how to coil a basket top onto a clay base and take home a unique and beautiful pot/basket. You will have your choice of a variety of fired and glazed bases with holes punched along the top for you to secure raffia coils onto. We will try different coiling techniques and materials. When done you will finish off your raffia top with a coating of beeswax to preserve it.
Brush Making & Mark Making Exploration
Expand your mark making potential by learning how to make your own brushes to use on paper and fabric. You will make 5 different brushes and learn how to use them to make free and organic shapes on your chosen media. This is a fun and expressive way to loosen up your creative juices.
Flour Paste Resist Printing Workshop
In this workshop you will have fun creating abstract patterns on fabric using flour paste resist. You will learn how to prepare the flour paste resist and apply it to fabric, create patterns and print the fabric with paint, and then finally remove the resist to reveal a unique pattern.
