I had a great time on Saturday teaching a surface design workshop in Saluda, NC. The workshop was organized by Random Arts (http://www.randomartsnow.com/), a great altered art and art supplies store. If you have not been there, make sure you check it out. Jane and her associates offer all kinds of cool supplies, papers, stamps, gels, inks, paints....as well as wonderful classes. The store is also decorated by work created by customers and instructors and a real boost to your creativity.
Because 10 students could not be accommodated in the store classroom, the workshop took place at the senior center, which is a wonderful facility.
This group of people was a lot of fun and it is always wonderful to me to meet people with such different backgrounds and talents. We concentrated on creating textures with a number of different techniques and materials such as silk paper, distressing Tyvek and stabilizer to make decorative elements or beads, distressing Kunin felt, foiling and making non-woven material with soluble stabilizer. We could have gone on and on but the day went by too fast.
Here are a few pictures from the workshop:
