Appropriate level: BEGINNERS ARE WELCOME IN ALL OF LYNN’S WORKSHOPS!

This class challenges the textile artist to work not small, but TINY! During our time together we will work on a series of 4” square textile collages. In the morning, students will focus on creating a series of Tiny Textiles based on timed prompts. The confines of the small surface and limited time will nurture the student’s ability to follow her artist instincts instead of overthinking options. These exercises will provide the backgrounds of each Tiny Textile. In the afternoon, we add the fabulous details! Students will explore creating a cohesive composition by adding details using pens, markers, hand stitching, beading and unexpected elements such as paper and metal! Kit Fee: $12.

Lynn Krawczyk is a mixed media artist living in Plymouth, MI. The core of her work focuses on textiles and takes the form of collage, hand stitching and textile printing. She has written three books – Intentional Printing, The Hand Stitched Surface, and Hand Sewing Magic – as well as dozens of articles for craft and textile magazines.

Lecture by Lynn Krawczyk

“Creative Everyday: Learn to Find Inspiration in the Mundane and Use it in Your Art”

Lecture description: “Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.” – Pablo Picasso. Instead of waiting for the lightning bolt of inspiration, learn to use your powers of observation of the everyday to find beauty and idea sparks for new artwork. Inspiration is not reserved for the inspired few, it is within all of us if we are willing to slow down and look. Lynn will give many examples of inspiration she finds in everyday situations and how they have influenced her artwork.

This lecture follows the business meeting on Quilt Day.

Think of this class as printing press meets fabric. Utilizing the incredibly unique printing technique known as monoprinting, we will create one-of-a-kind fabrics that can be used in a wide variety of art projects. In the morning, students will explore using different items to create pattern on fabric using textile paint. Composition of the printed pattern will also be covered. In the afternoon, students will create a textile collage using fabrics made in the morning portion of the class. Additional monoprinting can be added. Kit Fee: $10
