There are many ways of printing photos on fabric to add to your fiber art pieces, but how do you make sure it prints at the right size or color? This class will help you take the guesswork out of photos on fabric. We will talk about printing to exact sizes and editing color and contrast to get the best results. Want to put more than one photo on your piece of fabric? Learn different ways to do that too. Finally, we will talk about kinds of fabric, the washfastness and durability of many different printing options. Students are required to bring a laptop, or may reserve one with the instructor.

Spoonflower Handbook Master Class – August session

2016-08-10T14:39:29-05:00|Comments Off on Spoonflower Handbook Master Class – August session

This workshop will be an introduction to using Photoshop for fabric design, with a specific focus on using layers and seamless textures to add depth to your designs. You will learn basic Photoshop concepts and tools, work with photographs and original artwork as the basis for your designs and learn hands-on while you complete several design projects. Several of our class exercises will build on concepts presented in The Spoonflower Handbook, taking these projects “beyond the book” with more advanced tools and skills, as well as one-on-one instruction.
For this class, you do not need drawing or painting skills; no experience with Photoshop or fabric design is necessary although you should be familiar with the Spoonflower site.
