Surface Design and Stitch
Date(s): 7/21/2014 - 7/28/2014
This full week course in our Textile Design Program will prepare the
Program or general interest student to create their own original hand
coloured and stitched textile projects. The course is for anyone who has
ever wanted to step out of the box, leave the familiar and perhaps
traditional behind and create one of a kind quilts or embroidery while
learning the foundations of design, stitch, pattern development and
finishing of quilts, home décor, wearables or wall art.
Students will
explore color, support their knowledge of design principles and build
all new work while spending time in the classroom divided between
working into a sketchbook with art and design techniques. Students will
experience hands on sampling for special effects on fabrics and the
planning and successful execution of original small quilts or stitched
fabrics using a wide variety of new techniques. Students are encouraged
to complete several small classroom projects which are stitched by hand
or machine, framed/bound and ready to enjoy. A material fee of $40.00 to
cover the cost of paints and dyes, some tools and fabrics/threads for
small class samples is payable to the instructor on the first day.
