Doodle Designs Workshop
Begins April 8
Last day for class sign ups is June 30th
(self paced class)
6 weeks/6 lessons
$60.00
Have you ever wondered what you could do with that doodle on the napkin or notepad? A doodle can be a way to awaken your sense of creativity and self-discovery. This type of drawing is born of intuition and is a great tool for connecting with your inner voice. I believe a doodle can spark a series of artworks when you are stumped for ideas. This type of “play” is important to everyone who wants to grow creatively. I use doodles as the basis of a lot of my own artwork and it has helped me to expand my artistic voice.
In this workshop, students will be using doodle drawings as a basis for embroidery and fiber art pieces. We will take doodle drawings that been inspired by “prompts” to see how you interpret ideas into drawings and expand them into abstract works of art. A variety of art materials will be used to help discover your inner child. No drawing experience is needed, just a sense of fun.Open to all levels.

Fertile Earth Workshop

Nature has been used for thousands of years in all art forms. It has been portrayed in all aspects of fiber art and has played a large role in all cultures around the world. Textile crafts such as weaving, lace, knitting, crochet, embroidery, quilting and rug making utilize details from our “Mother Earth”. I believe that every artist can be helped to find different ways of designing by looking at nature in more perceptive ways. We can all look at the same subject matter and it will always be unique to that person. With the following lessons, I hope to inspire students to take a fresh look at the world around them. Also, by taking the theme of Nature and exploring its different facets and design possibilities, you can develop a very personal and creative approach to these embroideries. We will also collect things for an idea box and use an art journal to paste images, draw sketches and ideas for our work and future projects. Working on one lesson over a period of time can produce a multitude of ideas, which can be developed further. While one idea can lead to another, sometimes the end result resembles nothing like the starting point. Plus, in our lessons we will experiment with background fabrics to be an integral part of the designs.
In this workshop, we will use a variety of techniques to create embroideries that will involve drawing, painting, collage, photography, and printing. I will touch on design, pattern, and texture, but you don’t need to know how to draw.
This will be a hand sewing class and a sewing machine is optional.
All levels are welcome and all you need is a sense of creative fun and wanting to learn.

Do you want to feel more comfortable using color in your fiber art? This workshop will help you get your mind around color combinations and how the color wheel works. Instead of mixing paints, we will use frosting and food coloring to mix our colors for our color wheel. So, you can eat and learn at the same time! Also, you will get permission to go to the store and buy that big box of Crayons to use in another lesson. Hopefully by using these simple lessons I have put together to learn about color, you will be comfortable in using different color combinations in your fiber art. We will use collage, crayons, fabric and thread to explore color combinations.
