HOT with Susan Lenz

Instructor: Susan Lenz

HOT is a five-day workshop exploring heat-activated processes for contemporary fiber arts. Participants are encouraged to work intuitively with a wide range of polyester stretch velvets, metallic foiling sheets, chiffon scarf overlays, Angelina fibers, feathers, iron-on adhesives, and snippets of other novelty materials.  Susan’s style of instruction is a series of in-depth demonstrations followed by ample time for experimentation and discovery.  Demonstrations will include painting the adhesive, fusing layers of synthetics, surface design, hand embroidery, self-guided free-motion stitching, melting techniques, and matting/mounting fiber arts for framed presentations.  Time will spent on individual critiques and open discussions on inspiration, professional development, and the working life of a studio artist.  Susan’s thirty-year background as a certified custom picture framer will enhance the workshop.  All levels.
