Learn to create and incorporate your own imagery and mark making into your fiber arts projects. In this workshop students will learn how to create and print with stencils on fabric, and then embroider on top of the printing to create layered and textured art pieces. Patterns, imagery, words and number can all be printed and embroidered. The techniques and skills learned can be applied to textile, paper art, and book art pieces. Students will learn how to cut and print stencils, and will learn a number of embroidery stitches. Your finished piece will be richly layered and unique to you.
