TYLER0815 - Alternative Embellishment Workshop

Course Description

This workshop focuses on the stitch as both mark and structure to alter, enrich and transform the surface of pliable materials. While exploring traditional surface applications such as machine and hand embroidery, unconventional materials such as water-soluble embroidery film, Tyvek, found and recycled items will all be combined with processes such as encaustic, image transfer, collage, layering and heating to create complex and sculptural surfaces. In addition to basic encaustic techniques, participants will explore the mark-making possibilities of branding. Participants are encouraged to develop a personal vocabulary through the creation of a portfolio of samples. A slide lecture discussing historical and contemporary practices involving fiber and alternative media is also offered.
