Textile Art Classes

Over the last few months I have been taking part in an informal textile art class.  There are usually only around 4 - 6 of us at each class and we have learned some fabulous techniques which I hope to put into practice.  In the most recent class we did sun printing.  I have carried this on at home and these are some of he pieces I have produced so far.
 
The above piece was produced by twirling the fabric and then leaving it to dry.  This piece of fabric has been ironed flat and the apparent creases are an optical illusion.  I love the depth to this piece.


The rest were created by overlaying stencils on the fabric.

 
Wow it has been so long since I last blogged - I hope to include some more examples of our work in future blogs.

Isn't it great to learn new techniques. I especially like your last three stencilled samples - stencils are great to use on dyed fabrics I think.
