The full tuition for this workshop is $350. It does not include meals or lodging.
Hours are 9 to 5 each day with a 1-hour lunch break. Intro & slide show Friday, July 12th at 5pm.
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 you will create your own!
You will explore (some rather surprising) techniques for using sun-reactive transparent color paints to create uniquely textured and individualized fabrics. These hands-on days are focused on how to best use and layer paint, how to use various resists, and – depending on desired results – how to most successfully induce (and control) desired layer-by-layer differential paint absorption, diffusion, blending, and/or mottling. Resulting fabrics can be remarkable.
Your fabric painting is guided by your specific needs and ends with the completion of a range of your own newly painted fabric in the colors and textures you desire and create. The two-day schedule ensures plenty of time for in-depth hands-on "guided experimentation" and techniques exploration.
There is an additional paint and supplies fee of $40 that is payable to Denise at the start of the workshop.
An optional fabric kit is also available for $75. You can purchase this from Denise at the start of the workshop.
