Mixed Media Fabric Art Class

Yesterday I taught my mixed media fabric art class at the Ashhurst Quilt shop. I started the day like this

and after I'd finished talking the bench looked like this :-)

We had 10 enthusiastic women in attendance, and had a fun day where I shared many of my favourite techniques including use of found words, incorporating paper serviettes, stamping,

painted fusible web, using punched cardboard and making your own mixed-fibre cords

Everyone enjoyed making crusty melted tyvek beads

playing with paints

and using stencils 

Serviettes were dyed with a lovely distress ink pad technique

By the end of the day we had lovely banner layouts

Some gorgeous pages - many had fun trying different kinds of image printing on TAP paper, extravorganza, lutradur, and silk

Here are some other scrummy gatherings of created and colour-themed things

It really was a creatively perfect way to start July ♥
