SD Sampler Platter

6 hour format
Skill level: All levels
Supply Fee: $10.00 per student
Optional Kit $30.00

Can’t choose which surface design technique you want most to learn? Try a taste of each! Make a small art quilt or bookcover while playing with paint, foil, photo-transfer, screen printing and stamp carving, and beading.

Students will create a small fabric collage on batting, learn different surface design techniques, and come home with a small art-quilt or a book-cover. Techniques include printing and stenciling, stamp carving, screen printing, foiling, photo transfer and beading. If you choose to buy a kit all you’ll need to bring is scissors and either an X-Acto knife or lino carving tools. Wear old clothes.
