Digital Fashion: Infinity Scarf (2 sessions)

2015-10-23T13:46:37-05:00|Comments Off on Digital Fashion: Infinity Scarf (2 sessions)

This is part of a series of classes I am teaching that I call “beyond the book”.  Each one starts with a project from The Spoonflower Handbook as inspiration and we go more in depth and try more variations that build on the basics.

Go beyond the book and create an infinity scarf with digitally printed fabric created from a macro photograph. In the first class, we will focus on photography with a hands-on photoshoot to capture macro photographs of small objects. We will learn about lighting effects, focus, macro mode, and optional features on your camera. In the second session, we will edit our photos learning about cropping, resizing, resolution, and ratios to create a finished file that is ready to print. Your photo will be transformed to an abstract print on fabric, which you can finish into an infinity style scarf. Supply list will be provided at registration (you will need a basic camera and a laptop).  Please register through Textile Center.

This class is 2 sessions: November 9 & 16.

I am teaching a LOT of new classes this fall and I am really excited about that.  I am going to be one busy lady.

The waterlily is a sample for my Digital Art Quilt class.  It is one of the “Beyond the Book” classes that I am teaching, which are based on projects from The Spoonflower Handbook, but I am taking them a step further and adding some hands-on components.  This is based on a really cute quilt project from the book using an original piece of  collage art.  We are going to expand the collage idea by making paper collages, handpainting some papers and adding digital layers to the design as well.  This one is made only from the pages of an Eddie Bauer catalog and a sharpie drawing of pebble shapes.  I think I am going to print it at about 15 inches square and finish it as an art quilt.

Check out most of the fall classes here on my Upcoming Classes page.  I have a few more to come that are waiting to confirm dates.
