Get Inked in Long Beach!


Wow! It's four weeks until International Quilt Festival, Long Beach. Would you like to immerse yourself in color by learning how to paint fabric with acrylic inks?

Saturday I'm teaching a fun new class 10 Techniques with Acrylic Inks.


Spend a day filled with fun and relaxed exploration, beginning with creating colorful textured backgrounds

exploring mark making with different kinds of stamps 





















and drawing with inks using quill type calligraphy and ruling pens.














We'll explore layering imagery with color and marks



cutting masks with freezer paper.
And painting in a transparent watercolor style.
This class is going to packed with lots of tips and ideas of ways you can work with these versatile inks on fabric. I'd love to see you there!
