Fiber Arts Workshop

Digital Printing on Fabric – Fabricated Fables with Renne Brock-Richmond (MACDW)

Friday, October 3rd, 9:00-12:00, MAC DeWitt Building Multi-purpose Room

Learn the artistry and techniques to digitize, edit, and print your images on fabric from a personal computer. Create an unique and completely original fabric using your own photos, drawings, writing, small three-dimensional objects, and storytelling skills using a digital camera, scanner, software, and an ink jet printer. With this method, your inspiration will transform special moments and memories into loving keepsakes. You can create a precious heirloom for yourself, a new arrival, or the genealogy enthusiast in your family. Renne will demonstrate how you can develop “Fabricated Fables” on apparel or quilts included the practical step-by-step instructions for prepping the fabric for the printer, basic image enhancement on the computer, printing your design onto the fabric, and finishing techniques.

With three of your own inspiration images (photos, drawings, writing, and small three-dimensional objects), participants will create a letter size design and print it on to provided cotton. Participants can continue to create more at home with various computer applications. Instructor supplies fabric, instruction handout, computer, and printer. Students are strongly encouraged to bring their own images and objects to scan. Basic computer experience is necessary.

Class Fee: $40
