Tutor: Karen Carter
Wed 15th March 10am - 12pm
(UK timings)
This LivePlus™ online workshop is suitable for beginners and improvers alike. You needn't have the materials ready whilst watching this online demonstration – it is a time to watch, ask and learn.
Workshop details
Join Karen to create mixed media pieces of work on fabric incorporating paint, stenciling, and simple printing techniques, to create a base for decorative stitching.
We will create multi-layered complex images using a mix of simple techniques, combining paint and printed elements including Gum Arabic transfer, directly onto fabric surfaces.
We will work on different fabrics that can be stitched and collaged together or used as individual pieces in their own right. We will create interesting surfaces with resists and stencils, paint and print, in a variety of ways – which can then be embellished with decorative stitching and dimensional paints to add texture and detail.
No previous experience needed in either textiles or printing….this is a playful experimental approach to working on cloth (please note that this is for ‘art textiles’ that won’t need washing rather than practical items).

Additional Information
All Ardington ONLINE classes and talks are accompanied by their own online blackboard. Helpful and easy to use, they enable students and tutors to share resources, ideas and photos with each other – just as you would in a classroom environment.
Karen will offer personalised critique / feedback via the blackboard for any work uploaded by students within thirty days of the class ending. You will be sent the link to access your blackboard in the week before your class begins and will have access for at least sixty days after the class ends.
After the live session has finished on Zoom, we will share the link to view the recording on the blackboard. You can watch the recording as many times as you like for sixty days.
We suggest that you do not buy any specialist materials more than one week in advance as, occasionally, a class may be cancelled due to low enrolment.
