Poppet Printing Class

My lovely friend Andrea has an amazing space in her home that she has dedicated to an art space.

It's SO NICE!  And so is she!  She's hosting a couple of Janamade classes in the spring!

I am teaching the Fabric Printing class on April 7th!  It will be really fun, I am going to provide cotton scarves and we'll make stamps using lino, or hot glue or stencils if you want!  And you'll get to keep the scarf when you are done.

Not too shabby if you ask me!

AND in May I'll host a workshop where we'll be painting with BLEACH!  Cute and fun results!

Please email Andrea if you are interested in taking the printing class in April.

stamping practice

I've started prepping for the workshop that I'm teaching in a couple of weeks (there is still room in the class if you are interested in taking it!  Printing on Fabric!) and have carved up a couple of stamps now to demonstrate a few different ideas.

The one above is to show that you have to remember to carve your stamp backwards if you are going to include text.

I am really happy with how this one turned out, I am thinking that I'll pick up some fabric napkins and print them with this!

How cute is that?!

Workshop!

I am teaching a workshop in May!

Yes, little old me, ME! I'm teaching a workshop called Illustration for Printing on Fabric at Island Blueprint on May 5th.

It's a Saturday class, and we'll go over line quality, fabric texture and MAKE OUR OWN STAMPS/STENCILS AND THEN PRINT FABRIC!!

It's going to be really fun, and if you are in the city, and want to spend a fun afternoon printing your own designs onto textiles of your choice (fabric napkins, pillowcases, tshirts or tote bags are all good fun things to print that you'll keep when we're done!) please sign up! I'd love to meet you!

I've got lots of fun ideas to share and I'm hoping to get to the thrift store in the next couple of weeks for some vintage napkins and pillowcases to print up as samples (plus to have in my house because I like that)
