Our next session begins on Monday, March 4! We are meeting for 8-weeks this time y'all! And our schedule of projects include (but are not limited to..)
Papermaking
We've been working toward this for a while. We are going to work with at least two pulps- recycled papers and either linen or abaca pulp- something that is strong and we can manipulate well. We will pull single sheets, layered sheets and try some other techniques to get used to how the pulp and pulling work. Then, we are going to try some casting.
After we get our papers, we will start manipulating them, adding materials, color perhaps some threads (gotta have threads!) and work on our composition.
Textile Composition
Not the snappiest project title-- but I've been working on some pieces that are part of a path of pieces.... and I've been using several techniques that I like to combine to make fiber compositions (and I have a show coming up!!!)
Painting and printing with Textile Pigments on muslin
Image Transfer
Stitching as line
Wrapping and Weaving
And, if we have time, Found Object Jewelry.
I'm always collecting nuts, seeds, stones, bits of metal, shells, beads, beads, threads, beads, glass, papers and usually some beads. I'm working on some prototypes over the week and will post them soon.
Hope you can make this class- So far it has been great fun with wonderful students (a treat to meet!). Please email Karen at Art Alliance of Greensboro, call 336.373.2725 and feel free to email me at kathryngauldin@gmail.com if you have questions or suggestions!
