FABULOUS THREADS Two-day Workshop with Jane Dams, Artist Teacher Consultant
"Specializing in Surface Design of Textiles to include Stitch and Print"
A dyeing workshop designed to create a unique selection of fabulous rainbow threads for hand and machine embroidery.
We will work with natural fibres applying colour to threads that will include cotton, silk, and rayon both spun and unspun (rovings) as well as unusual textures. Dyeing techniques using fibre reactive dyes will include solid colour, over dyeing existing colours, hand painting, resists, and spraying.
This is an opportunity for the participant to involve themselves in the study of new colour combinations while creating one of a kind thread for their own one of a kind work. All levels of experience.
Location : Jane’s Studio, 2 Cummings Court, Guelph
Time : 9:30 am to 4:00 pm
Morning coffee and a light Lunch is included in the fee.

Four, one-day-a-week Workshops with Jane Dams, Artist Teacher Consultant
"How to Create Impact in Textile Design - Stitch, Colour and Texture "
Designed to challenge and encourage the participants into areas that go beyond their normal practice in the field of contemporary stitched textiles. During this period of exploration and discovery we will concentrate on two design elements Colour and Texture. Particular emphasis will be on colour, in an attempt to discover new innovative colour combinations and to uncover the personal, emotional and impressionistic aspects of colour.
The design exercises will lead to an intensive study of thread, background surface, and stitch (both hand and machine depending on what the participant is comfortable with) in the form of experimental samplers. We will exploit both material and process to discover or rediscover new applications.
The result of this workshop is a notebook of new stitch and design exercises geared to develop design and drawing skills as well as stimulate the imagination. A range of samples will be produced that will undoubtedly act as inspiration for future work. All levels of experience.
Location : Jane’s Studio, 2 Cummings Court, Guelph
Time : 9:30 am to 4:00 pm
Morning coffee and a light Lunch is included in the fee.
The material fee cost as well as a material list will be sent to each participant.
