Color, Canvas, Letters on Fabric... no sewing or fabric knowledge required! Stamp, stencil, spray and play your way through this workshop! Painting on fabric; old brushes, new pens; colors that work – or not; wash techniques, alternative tools; T-shirt puffy paint? No way! Yes way! Everyone can do this: bravery and fearlessness is the only requirement.
Patch it all together! Sew or glue – your choice. Add beads, wire, charms, or photos if you will. Stitch on top of it all by hand or machine... if I can do fabric you can, too. Share, laugh, collaborate, conspire!! Leave your preconceptions about fabric, letters and finished pieces at the door. Liquid acrylic inks, oil pastels, metallic bars and stencils, shiny letters, gold and sparkly, raw edges... join me!
