Nature
Prints
Lyna Lou Nordstrom
Fri., Sept. 24
10:30 AM – 4PM (½
hr break for lunch)
Using the bounty of spring or
summer’s new growth, we will create prints from the impressions
of the grasses and leaves. Kitakata, a paper similar to rice
paper, and Akua Intaglio nontoxic printing inks will allow participants
to develop rich colors on the semi transparent paper. The pressure of
the press picks up every detail and the plants also retain some of the
ink from going through the press, so the layering possibilities and
ghost images are endless. Using lace or other textures can
add more variety. Seasoned printmakers or beginners
welcome. Materials fee to the instructor: $10.
Members $45/Non-Members $55
Lyna
Lou Nordstrom began printmaking in 1995. Her previous incarnation
was "fabric artist." Her colorful monotypes have won awards in
juried shows throughout New England and Canada. In 2006 she received a

Introduction
to Textile Design
Laura Perry
Wed: Oct. 13; 20 & 27
5-8 PM
Where to designers get their
ideas? Where and how do you start to design? This class is
for students who are interested in learning more about the design
process and in particular textile design. Students will be
introduced to a variety of inspirational starting points and
ideas. Approaches to recording research, experimentation with
visual ideas and how to begin the design process will be studied and
practiced. Using a variety of media and materials including
paint, oil pastels, chalk pastels and charcoal, students will
experiment with still life drawing and painting, to create surface
patterns and textures for the textile ideas produced later in the
sessions. Textile techniques such as weaving, printing and resist
painting are practices using paper rather than fabric as a base.
Students will produce a final design board, which includes initial
ideas, research collected and a development of ideas and end
results. The course includes a lot of playing with ideas in a
short amount of time, with the aim that students can develop areas of
interest on their own outside of class or in future courses in more
detail. This course is for beginners & intermediate
students. Previous drawing experience is not necessary.
Materials fee: $25 to the instructor. (Materials are ordered in
advance; please enroll by Oct 1.)

Scribble
Collage
Jane Davies
Fri., Oct. 15
9:30AM – 5PM (with 1 hr
break for lunch)
Collage is a vibrant, exciting
medium whose potential for creative expression requires only a
willingness to jump in and explore the possibilities. The
immediacy of collage gets at the heart of the creative process, putting
together images and materials with an open mind and a sense of
adventure. It is not about making pretty pictures in a
technically proficient way; it is about trusting your intuitive visual
and conceptual associations and using collage as a tool for self
expression.
This workshop is based on
Jane’s book, “Collage Journeys: A Practical Guide to
Creating Personal Artwork.” We will create our own collage
materials by making “paint playgrounds” and scribble
drawings using acrylic, watercolor, crayons, pastel, charcoal, and
other materials. If you are “not artistic” or
“can’t draw”, try drawing and painting with the
intention of tearing up the results for collage! It is definitely
in the category of dance-like-nobody-is-watching, and a great way to
engage your creative spirit. We will experiment with various
approaches to collage using these paintings-drawings as our
foundation. Contact SPA for a suggested materials list; Jane will
offer items, such as paper and paints, for sale during the workshop.
Members $80/Non-Members $90
From
potter, pottery painter/craftsperson, to collage artist, designer, and
teacher, Jane Davies is about using color with passion and
panache. Davies, who studied ceramics at Bennington College in
Vermont and the School for American Crafts in Rochester, New York,
before opening her own studio in 1991, made her living selling her
ceramics at craft shows and galleries. She gradually transitioned
into designing tableware, quilting fabric, paper goods, stationery, and
other projects for a myriad of prestigious manufacturers. In
addition, she has written 3 books: “A Glaze of Color:
Creating Color and Design on Ceramics”, 2004; “Collage with
Color: Create Unique Collages in Vibrant Color”, 2005; and
“Collage Journeys: a Practical Guide to Creating Personal
Artwork”, 2008.

Recycled
Accordion Book
Elissa Campbell

offers lots of creative possibilities! In this workshop, we will

materials. This structure can stand up and be stretched out,
making it perfect for display.
Participants are encouraged to
bring their own recycled materials to include in their work.
Additional materials will be available for use during the class.
In this workshop, each
participant will leave the class with a completed book and a basic
knowledge of bookbinding techniques. You will receive a detailed
handout and resource list for all materials used. No previous
experience is required – this is a great class for a
beginner. Materials fee to the instructor: $7 (There is a
considerable amount of labor used in preparing the recycled materials
for the workshop.)

approaches, and discover their own style through experimenting with
media. This workshop is a great fit for people who have worked in
a particular medium and would like to push it further or combine the
medium with new materials.

Sketching and Illustration
Gene Lakin

NOTE: Enroll by Dec. 17,
2010
10AM – 2PM
The purpose of this workshop is
to give students a brief introduction to fashion proportion and
illustration techniques used in the garment industry today. Over
a three day period we will look at how fashion sketches are used to
communicate customer, markets, and personal style. We will follow
the process from croquis sketch to finished illustration, working with
each individual’s abilities and strengths, in using fashion
illustration as a personal means of expression.
Day One: Brief
introduction to a variety of sketching styles and how effective they
are in focusing in on their target market. Proportions of the
fashion figure are broken down, as well as the play of balance line and
center front to create various attitudes to the figure. A figure
analysis will be explained. Homework: Taking two referenced
figure analysis and stretching them out to a ten-head fashion figure.
Day Two: Introduction on
various media used in fashion illustration today. Demonstration
of the most commonly used combination of marker and color pencil
technique will be shown, and the expediency of this media will be
explained. Working with a model, students will begin to work
their fashion figures in a series of gesture movements suitable for day
to evening wear. Homework: Create two figures day to
evening in color.
Day Three: Student will
work in class from a garment either in their wardrobe or of their own
design to create a three-piece collection to be critiqued at the end of
the session.
