Upcoming Fiber Arts Workshops

9/14/2018

These are the sessions that I will be teaching. Hope you can join us!
Silk Dyeing:
Oct 24
Participants will dye two silk scarves (8” x 72”) with easy to use Colorhue silk dyes. The scrunch dye method will be taught, as well as a demonstration of how to do easy shibori folds. Each participant will go home with two beautifully dyed 100% habotai silk scarves.

Fabric Collage:
Nov 7
Fabric collage with rough edges (based on Susan Carlson’s techniques) is a simple and exciting process. This class will free you to do and try things you thought you couldn’t do with fabric. In the class, you will complete a unique fabric collage.

Fabric Collage Hand Stitching:
Nov 14
We will finish the collages we completed the week before. Hand stitching and embroidery adds another dimension to your fabric collage.

I am influenced by the landscape of my childhood, both interior and exterior. I grew up in a remote Quaker community adjacent to the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia, Canada. My work is also influenced by the strong light and colors of Los Angeles, my chosen home.

Hand dyed fabrics and a closely stitched line are how I render the abstract works that are based in my fascination with language and my connection to nature. It takes long hours to create one of my fiber artworks. I start with white fabric, and hand dye it to get my color palette. Then comes hours of hand guided machine stitching, which adds surface design and detail to the work. I love the slow meditative processes of working with fabric in this way.
