The Expanding Creativity workshop will assist artists at any level in creating small textile compositions. These compositions will incorporate the use of textural surfaces and mixed media ideas that will help to expand the ways of developing original artwork.

During the workshop, ideas will be expressed in small compositions while exploring 3D and/or textural surface elements. Participants will experiment with materials and objects that they have discovered, or will create originals by hand to use in unique fiber compositions. Mixed media will also be explored in order to generate one of-a-kind ideas, discovering a distinct voice for the artist.

This hands-on workshop will cover the many aspects of printing quality, digital images on a variety of textiles and papers using an inkjet printer. Image and substrate preparation will include varied discussions.

This class is designed to educate and answer questions about printing on specialty surfaces in addition to the creation of surfaces from scratch. Experiment with tyvec, lutradur, vinyl, burlap, linen, canvas, lace paper, airiel paper, watercolor paper, hand made substrates and more. Participants are required to bring a laptop and images.

There is a wide variety of choices in using digital media to create mixed media art journals. This workshop will explore numerable possibilities for using digital prints, patterns and textures in journals.
