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.  For more information, please visit www.egausa.org and scroll down to EGA Seminar.
