From Photo to Fabric using Paintstiks and Masks With Silvia Dell'Aere our Italian Tutor Arrival 3rd Oct 2012 Departure 10th Oct 2012 Deadline for registration is: 25th July 2012 ************** Paintstiks and oilbars can be used not only to give color accents to fabrics or paint simple shapes, they are great also to paint a whole complex scene. The technique I’d like to teach allow to take inspiration from a photo to paint a quilt top that will be true to the photo and will have a nice naïve feeling. Objectives:

Step by step procedure:
Thursday:
1) At first I’ll give a short talk about photography and how to take photos for quilt conversion. This has to be before the visit of Sulmona so students can take photos while visiting.
2) In the afternoon students will select a photo and print it. Every student will need two A4 prints, for study and reference purpose, and one A3, for quilt designing purpose. I’ll give suggestion about how to properly choose a photo. I also will have my own photo just in case a student prefer to use mine.
3) Then I’ll give a talk about light and shadows and every student will be invited to study the photo of her choice to see and mark light and shadow areas.
Friday:
4) I’ll show how to use tracing paper to convert the photo in a quilt design. I’ll show common mistakes to avoid and how to decide which details keep and which ignore. Every students will trace her own design.
5) Then every student will make the mask by copying the design on freezer paper and will adhere it to the fabric. I’ll explain the differences between masks and stencils.
6) Before working on the quilt I’ll lead a practicing session about how to cut the mask, how to remove pieces and how to re-iron them in place. Usually this don’t take more than one hour but since this is a crucial point I’ll go on only when all students will be able to cut the mask without cutting the fabric.
7) Introductory talk about Paintstiks and OilBars, what are, differences, how they are used, how we will use them. Practicing session.
Saturday:
8) Work on quilt top. I’ll show how to plan the work, how to start and how to put in practice all the lights/shadows study and the practical exercises we’ve made. I’ll show how to add details.
Then I’ll watch students at work, helping or giving tips and clarifications if necessary.
Sunday:
9) Work on quilt top.10) Students will finish the quilt top or, if they have already finished it, they can start a second one.
Monday
10) Students will finish the quilt top or, if they have already finished it, they can start a second one.
