Fabric Manipulation
Creating Texture
Saturday, February 18, 2017
1 - 4 pm
Ages 15+
Fabric is like clay. While it comes with a set of properties - thickness, pliability, drape, surface feel - fabric can be manipulated into shapes & textures that add dimension to a work of art. These four techniques can be done without sewing a stitch: scrunching, crinkling, bubbles, & crumbles. Make samples of these four & see examples of others that can be created with a basic sewing machine.
Art on exhibit at the museum can serve as inspiration for art we create. Emphasis will be on shapes, positive & negative space, & abstraction. Still life images & three dimensional pieces are particularly useful. The intent is to expand ideas about fiber as a medium & encourage more potential for it's exhibition.

MaryGayle first sat down to create with fabric at the age of seven. And she hasn't stopped. She earned here degrees from Purdue University in clothing & textiles, & instructional design. For 40+ years she has taught custom-designed classes & workshops in fiber techniques & design. While her primary concentration is on wearable art, the methods translate to decorative pieces as well. Her work can be seen locally in FibR guild exhibits & in art shows around Indiana.
