ARTFUL EXPRESSION WITH CLOTHES FROM YOUR
CLOSET
Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
April 28 - 29 2 Days
Tuition: $147.00
$15 material fee included in tuition
For many of us clothing, even cloth itself, holds emotional and sentimental connections.
Your Closet Workshop will use clothing as the medium and material for self expression.
We will transfer your images and words first to paper and then to cloth. Your art object
may be a collage or assemblage, a dress sculpture or even in the form of a book.
Memorabilia and every day artifacts, family photos and xeroxed images can also be
used. Construction techniques and materials will be provided and demonstrated as well
as well less traditional textile materials such as water colors, inks and waxes. Projects
will be illustrated with the instructor's own work with second-hand clothing and
examples from textile history and contemporary artists.
Bring to class treasured but no longer wearable garments, memorabilia of cloth or
other materials.
