Fabric Paint Party

Surface design gone wild! Explore all sorts of methods for neat backgrounds on fabric. A lot of this adventure will be about getting started and feeling confident in using acrylic media and fabric. It will also be about utilizing your unique art gifts. Maybe a little calligraphy-and definitely calligraphic marks. I will show you many techniques that have worked for me-but then it’s your turn to innovate in your own authentic style. Spontaneity emphasized-and over working will be avoided. I will show you a way to showcase these works of art in a simple elegantly spare book made of canvas
