Intro to Textile Art Techniques

ABOUT THE COURSE

Discover how textiles can be used to tell stories, preserve memories and create beautiful, meaningful works of art. Over eight weeks you will explore a range of dyeing, printing, felting and stitching techniques while developing one or two personal textile pieces inspired by your own memories, experiences or treasured objects.

Working with photographs, fabric, found objects such as buttons or pieces of clothing, and a variety of textile processes, you will learn how to layer materials to create unique artworks. Along the way, there will be opportunities to share stories, ideas and inspiration in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Course content:

Eco printing
Natural dyeing
Wet felting
Photo transfer to fabric

No previous textile or sewing experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
