WORKSHOPS
Needle Punch Felting---This is the latest in machine needle work. Using the needle punch adaptor for your machine and wool roving, yarns and embellishments learn to create fantastic designs. This technique works well to create wearable art, wall-hangings or decorative art. The only limit is your imagination. This class is based on Suzanne�s work as seen in Issue #27 of Thru The Needle.
COMPOSITE CLOTH ---This workshop can be structured as either 1 or 2 days. The 2 day workshop is perfect for conferences or retreats. Participants will create intricate dyed and painted cloth. Students will begin by learning the basics of hand dyeing fabric using a variety of techniques including bumaki, salting and low water immersion. Then on day 2 we will enhance that cloth with layers to create intricate surface designs. The possibilities are limited only by imagination. The fabric is exceptionally lightfast and colorfast for use in other projects or it can stand alone as a work of art in itself. In the one day workshop students will begin with pre-dyed or commercial fabrics.
Creative Fabric Art --- Create a landscape, still life or portrait with the techniques Suzanne uses to create her award winning art. These pieces are suitable for either finishing as a traditional wall hanging or for matting and framing. No previous experience required. Class may be expanded to 2 days to include free motion thread-painting.
