Pattern, pattern everywhere

Going back through some of my pattern files to find some candidates for new thermofax screens. I like this one of plastic fencing. Lots more to explore in the file.

Experiments, Thursday

Our week of experiments in paper and metal lamination is coming to an end. Some people have great results, others are changing  their focus and moving in new directions. Below, Maggie Weiss with some of her partially completed fabrics.

                                                                         

Off to San Antonio

Tomorrow I head to San Antonio to work at the Art Cloth Studio with Jane Dunnewold and 11 other people in a weeklong intensive program. We each choose a particular project to concentrate on for the week. Judy Langille, fiber artist from New Jersey and Maggie Weiss, fiber artist from Evanston, Il and I will be doing work with paper and metal lamination. Watch the blog for postings about our progress through the week!

Today I held a workshop in my home studio for 4 artists. The topic was Exploration of Thermofaxes and Silkscreens. We tried out lots of ways to  expand  the usage of these 2 techniques. And we had lots of fun!
