Fabrics - Colour, Patterns & Painterly Effects

Course Number: ARTS1730

Create fabulous fabric while exploring colour, pattern and texture. Learn the techniques of hand painting, fluid wash, leaf/botanical prints, discharge, marking and stamping, all ideal surface embellishment for shawls, scarves, sarongs, decorative accent pieces, or works on canvas. Learn to experiment with the versatility of these wonderful water based, environmentally friendly dyes. They're ideal for using full strength, allowing strong brilliant colour for printing or diluted, for soft and subtle shades and hues - all well suited for fashion, interiors or fine art. A strong emphasis on experimenting with colour mixing, pattern, textures and overlays, will provide an opportunity to combine many learned techniques with a new range of expressive skills. Let loose with colour and pattern to encourage self expression and artistic freedom.
