SETH APTER
Mixed Media Mechanics with...
Fabric and Stitching.
Monday May 10 - Friday May 14
Fabric and hand stitching have always been a component of Seth's mixed media work. In many ways, fabric can be interchanged with paper in many projects, adding texture, layers, and pattern.
Hand stitching not only serves the functional purpose of adhering one thing to another, but it also adds dimension and texture and is a form of mark making.
Seth will review the many aspects of fabric and thread relevant to mixed media art - including a share of the most common ways he alters fabric for his work, a show and tell of his artwork that includes fabric and stitching, and multiple work-along demos using paper, fabric, and hand stitching.
This technique--based workshop will focus on surface design... using the gel plate, acrylic paints, stamps, stencils and other mixed media supplies to create one-of-a-kind fabrics.
We'll cover basic principles of collage: Overlapping, Contrasting, Guiding, Contouring, Repeating, Separating, Connecting, and Outlining.
You will learn to take the basic ingredients of fiber art – fabric, needle, and thread – and use them in ways that will bring fiberosity to your mixed media creations.
