Workshop series- Holographic Memories

Holographic Memories or Holographic Images Workshop evolved when the computer, digital camera and printing were available in the early 2000's.  I have loved photography since I was in my 20's and now I could use it in my art! 

I print on a variety of fabrics and substrates and have a workshop dedicated to that called Digging into Digital Printing. An exciting workshop too.

This workshop evolved from printing on transparent materials, specifically  silk organza.

Fog Rising- 3 photo placement 

I began layering it on my media media work, when I noticed it created a shadow image as I lifted the printed silk from the carrier paper. 

Fog Rising detail sideways to show effect 

Whoa! 

I set to figuring out how to present this in a fiber construction that makes a 3-D image when viewed. 

The Holographic technique was born!

I published this in Quilting Arts Magazine, 2007 and was invited to do a Quilting Arts TV show, the second TV series.

It is available as a download from Interweave. (Link on the right sidebar.)

Now I share this technique in workshops. I have several coming up including a Cruise this winter. (Please click on the tab at the top of this blog on Scheduled Workshops for more information.)
