Please bring the following supplies to the workshop:
- A sketchbook, any size, unlined
- One pair of small, sharp paper cutting scissors
- A glue stick
- A small part of a roll of masking tape
- An unused, uncut sewing pattern, style, item, or size is not important --Goodwill is a good source, or an inexpensive pattern of the raxck at the fabric store
- Your working sketchbook, plan book, day timer, or a file folder full of ideas & notes—I am referring to your real life stash of stuff that contains doodles and drawings and photos and swatches of this and that. I want to see your process and I want you to share your unique process with the group--including an image or two of your work.
- The writing/color producing accoutrements you like to use when you brainstorm, e.g. pencils, paint, colored pencils, paper for collage, pastels, watercolor…
- At least one example of your work
- A zip-lock bag that contains materials from your choice of several of the following categories: scraps of cloth, fibers, feathers, wood pieces, plastics, ribbons & embellishments, buttons & closures, metal scraps, jewelry or hardware.
- Please contemplate several sources of your personal inspiration....…. from where do your great works spring?
An example of a source of your personal inspiration. This can be exactly what it really is — a book of poems, a list of books that changed your life, photos, a CD of music you weave to, ethnic cloth swatches… from where do your great works spring?
