| Fusing/Fabric Painting to Create Realistic Art Quilts With Lenore Crawford Arrival 12th Sept to departure 19th Sept 2012 Deadline for registration: 4th July 2012 All Student Levels ***************** In this five day workshop students will create their own designs from their own photos. Freezer paper patterns will be created with my simple technique and then the design will be fused onto muslin. Fabric painting will be added to the finished design, and then the art quilttops will be put together with a batting layer and backing. Finally, top-stitching will be added for additional depth and texture. Supplies list will be provided.
Another exciting project possibility would be to use a photo taken at the local village and create it in fabric.
Day One: The first day I will introduce my technique to students, how I arrived at this style of fusing, talk about how to choose a design, what makes a good composition, what project they will be doing in class, and learn how to do my fusing technique. We will choose our fabrics and prepare for beginning the projects. Day Two: We will begin working on the projects, prepare our patterns from students’ own photos or one of my most complex patterns, and design projects. Day Three: Fusing will continue since it will take at least two days to fuse the whole project and possibly more. Blending fabrics by tone, color and texture will be discussed during the designing process. Finishing techniques will be discussed. Day Four and Five: When the projects are completely fused, painting will be done on them. The fabric paints are used to add detail and shadows to create depth on the design. Types of fabric paints will be discussed and painting techniques will be covered. Projects will be finished with stitching and thread painting if desired. Thread is another element of the finished design. It adds texture and of course keeps the fused pieces permanently attached to the finished piece. Free motion sewing will be covered. My techniques for finishing an art quilt with my simple binding technique will also be discussed. Supplies provided by me: $10 for fabric paints, freezer paper, parchment paper, two yards of fusible web, patterns are extra if students prefer to use mine at $10 apiece.
