Mixed Media Mechanics with...

Fabric and Stitching.

Tuesday May 11 - Saturday May 15​

​

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.
