Creative Surfaces An online workshop from Fibre in-Form.
This workshop can be purchased here at a cost of only £7.50
'Simply Salt' is the first in a series of 'Creative Surfaces' workshops from Fibre in-Form allowing you to pick and choose which techniques you would like to explore and take further.
We all know how life can sometimes get in the way of our creative endeavours so these workshops have been designed to enable you to start and finish them at your leisure.
Simply Salt will take you through the process of creating an amazing surface on a background of Lutradur using gesso, ink, silk paints and salt. This surface can then be embellished further using machine or hand stitch, beading or other embellishments but is equally decorative enough to use on its own to create vessels, book covers, bags etc.
The workshop includes five chapters with 77 colour illustrations.
Chapter 1 takes you through the basics of preparing the background with gesso.
In Chapter 2 we explore surface pattern by adding ink and salt, while Chapter 3 adding bleach on these surfaces giving you another dimension for your samples.
Chapter 4 discusses ideas for using silk paints on the prepared background.
And Chapter 5, the really exciting part of this workshop, uses a combination of gesso, ink, salt and silk paints to create a magical effect on the Lutradur background.
In addition to the workshop you will be invited to join the Fibre in-Form Yahoo group where you can ask as many questions as you wish, share your ideas and let others see the work you have produced. There will be no time limit for the 'Creative Surfaces' workshops and you can remain a member of the group for as long as you wish. In the coming weeks we hope to include further downloadable pdf's within the Yahoo group, to give you more ideas on how to extend the techniques you will have learned in the workshops.
A password giving you access to the workshop will be sent to you upon receipt of your PayPal payment.
If you have any questions regarding this workshop prior to subscribing please do not hesitate to contact us at: workshops@fibreinform.com
We look forward to seeing you on the Fibre in-Form group.
