New Workshop! Digital Collage!
In this one day workshop, Digital Collage! Create a 12x12 fabric and paper
collage to print on! We print the collage in the workshop using
our own photographs! Based on Wen's book- ‘Digital Fiber
Art and Mixed Media Masterpieces’.
Printer must be provided by students.
Share!
Participants can create a simple altered photograph of their very own to print!
Wen includes a demonstration on her new innovative sneaky layering technique so
you can easily create unique layered photos!
You
can use Photoshop or an app called Photoshop Mix or any similar blending app.
The app should be able to blend or layer 2 or more photos. This should be
downloaded before class onto your phone or ipad.
inkAid
will be introduced and used. The collage you create with your own fabrics
will be digitally prepared with grounds for a very clear and lasting fabric
print.
Wen
will show you her innovative batting technique- fusing felt to the back which
serves as both backing and batting!
The digital collage quilt will feature a new edge
treatment that uses paint! Her painted edges yield a wonderful new textural
accent to the finished piece. You’ll learn how to apply
a protective coating, medium enhancements or washes to the top of the quilt
that will enhance the colors and protect it too. the students will have the opportunity to try specialty medium
enhancements for a unique mixed media mini quilt! And a secret collage after
treatment!
A great way to
extend this workshop would be to add a 1 day Fab Fabric Painting workshop first
and use some of those newly painted fabrics in the collage creation!
