Art Quilt Tahoe 2008 |
Terrie Mangat Workshop Description SCRAPS, PAINT, THREAD, AND BEADS Inspired by a combination of scrap bag quilting and crazy quilts, this mixed media approach WILL light your CREATIVE fire. The eclectic mix of fabrics found in traditional scrap bag quilts is set off by THE paint, embroidery and embellishments - THE TRADEMARKS of Victorian crazy quilt makers. The student can choose to express an idea or abstract image, and should come with several ideas to draw from. How to express an idea, composition, color , value,texture, and scale of imagery within the fabric and ingredients will be among the things discussed and emphasized.THE INSTRUCTOR WILL PROVIDE GUIDANCE AND INSPIRATION FROM HER OWN EXPERIENCE IN CRAFTING AND DEVELOPING YOUR CONCEPT. Demonstrations will include hand reverse applique, strip piecing, hand embroidery, painting on canvas and sewing INTO quilt, painting directly on the quilt, beading, couching, curved piecing, and quilting with embroidery thread in larger stitches. A student can work in a simple or complicated manner here, but this class will present a new level of freedom in self expression. Supply List for Terrie's workshop |
