Enchanted Landscape with Mixed Media
4-Day Class for EGA Seminar 2012 in Santa Fe, NM
For Intermediate Level Embroiderers, Mixed Media Beginners
Santa Fe is called the Land of Enchantment.
Capture the magical quality of light and color with mixed media
techniques combined with fabric collage and embroidery in this
class. This is a workshop in hands-on color and design concepts
with guidance and confidence boosters for making design choices.
Use gel medium and bits of fabric to create a Monet-style fabric
collage. Learn how to seal the edges of organza with a heat
tool and use it for clouds and water. Use Angelina fibers for
quick injections of sparkle. (In “Rio Grande” above, they can be
seen in the river under the organza.) The sky is painted with
fabric paint.
The first day of class is devoted to learning the
possibilities of the materials and making a color plan for your
scene. A choice of three drawings will be provided in the
pre-class letter or students can work from your own drawing or a
tracing of a photo. Then, create your design using the Class
Stash of Threads, Fabrics and Mixed Media Materials. The Stash
will include silk, linen, cotton, and manmade fabrics and
threads sorted into a rainbow of colors so it’s easy to find
what you need. Many different weights of fabric are included
from sheers to upholstery weight and unusual textures. Tyvek,
Angelina fibers in 20 colors, and a mini iron will be
available. Fabric paint will be shared, along with color mixing
help. Kit includes sturdy background fabric 14” x 18” for 8” x
10” design (from which students may cut a smaller piece if they
wish), gel medium, and appropriate needles. Sewing machines and
threads will be available. Kit price $65.
