I am very excited to announce that Susan
Purney-Mark will be coming to Summerland to teach. She is an internationally known quilter and
fibre artist. Susan has written several
books, just produced her DVD – Soy Wax Inspirations and is in the current issue
of Quilting Arts Magazine.
Here are samples of Susan’s work hanging in the shop.
Here are the two classes that Susan will be
teaching:
Soy
Wax Resists
Quilters design their own unique
one-of-a-kind fabrics using simple tools, dyes and soy wax…no messy clean-up,
just wash this wax away! Students will be using colour and pattern in a whole
new way and then have so much fun making dynamic and exciting quilts for all to
admire. Simple technique and perfect for the beginner designer!
Creating print
on fabric with a variety of techniques will be the focus while students are introduced
to the special qualities of thickened dyes. Students will use screen for
printing with a variety of stencils and masks including wax, paper and Mylar.
Students will then make and use their own gelatin plates and take time for
other methods of mono printing. Colour theory and colour mixing will be an
important part of the workshop and students will acquire an excellent
foundation of experience to continue further exploration on their own.
