1. Shibori with Christine Zoller (OUBC)
This class is a comprehensive study in the use of shibori
techniques on all types of 100% natural fabrics. Many
examples will be produced using fiber reactive dyes, acid
dyes and fabric paints. We will also explore devoreĢ (burnout),
discharge, and chemical resist as they pertain to shibori.
We will start with the basics using fiber reactive dyes and
traditional methods of tying, wrapping and stitching cloth. We
will also cover unusual materials, such as paints, to see how
the media used affects the outcome of the process.
Christine Zoller earned her Bachelor of Science in textile design from Buffalo State College and a Master of Fine Arts in textile design from the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia. She is an associate professor and textile area coordinator at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina.
2. Photoshop for Artists with Deidre Adams (DB)
Learn how to give your photographs more visual excitement
and experiment with special effects. Explore the mysteries
of photo montage, including selections, masking, layers, and
blending modes. Understand the basics of resolution and
how to prepare your photographs for digital submissions and
printing. Some computers may be available at the university,
but bring your own laptop with Photoshop installed if
possible.
Deidre Adams is a painter, photographer, and mixed media fiber artist. Deidre’s experience includes teaching Photoshop and graphic design courses at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, Colorado. She also teaches a course in Principles of Design & Composition for the Art Quilter/Fiber Artist.
3. Complex Design with Leslie Gabriëlse (DB)
You will learn how to create complex designs from your own
simple drawings in an easy and straightforward method. We
will also explore how to use paint in surface design to give
your work more dimension and interest. An important part
of this is the range of possibilities created by playing with
positive and negative shapes and space. Throughout the
workshop, you will see how the principles of design and color
apply to your work, and you will be amazed at how much this
information will open up your mind to new ways to approach
art quilting.
Leslie Gabriëlse is a full time artist living in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He frequently teaches in other countries, including the U.S. His book Leslie Gabriëlse: A Portrait is for sale in the SAQA Store.
