''FABRIQUE" - CONSTRUCTED IMAGES IN FABRIC
2 DAY WORKSHOP --- Handstitching
Workshop Description
This method of construction is derived from existing traditional techniques..
A realistic or abstract effect can be achieved. Instruction will be given
using Denise's
own method of working on paper as a ground instead of a background fabric.
The paper is covered with fabric, as a painter would cover a canvas with
paint and,
when the image is formed the paper is removed.
There is discussion on composition, colour, overall design and, how they
apply
to this method of working, with consideration to designing the quilting
that will eventually enhance the constructed image.
This workshop concentrates on the student's own ideas and personal inspiration
and will translate these ideas onto fabric.
