Think Like an Artist MMA5005 top of page
Instructor: Pamela Allen

Basic sewing gear:
-thread, needles ( I like large darning needles for applique), sharp scissors , pins, ordinary chalk, embroidery floss

Adhesive:
-ordinary glue stick is perfect for workshop situation ( not so for exhibition work)
-if you are willing to go outside, a fabric spray baste is the easiest and fastest
Sewing Machine...with feed dog down capability and free motion foot.

Fabrics:
- A selection of black, white and B&W printed fabrics
-A selection of fabric off cuts all types all colours, prints and plains. Include some fabrics with large bold prints and designs. No particular criteria is necessary...just fabrics that have eye and tactile appeal as well as special ones like sheers, velvets, corduroy, silk, rayon and voile for transparent and textural effects. Thrift shop finds are great too.

-You might like to bring a small amount of backup Polyester or cotton batting. Faster even is fusible batting either cotton or poly.

-Embellishments of all kinds. This means thinking about unlikely but interesting additions such as found objects, manufactured items and hand made items such as copper tooled shapes ( Pamela will demonstrate) etc. There is always a way of attaching such items either by drilling small holes ( Pamela will bring a Dremel tool) or by capturing the shape with floss. Of course more conventional beads, buttons, lace etc is also useful.

Pamela will provide a Dremel tool ( for piercing holes for embellishments), a sewing machine, and a selection of HER favourite doodads to share with the class. She can demonstrate her little tricks like gold leafing and decoupaging buttons for eyes as well. Copper sheeting and tools will also be made available.
