Make it Your Own: Hand Painted Fabric

Desiree Vaughn

3 day class

Materials fee: $20.00

What makes your art unique???  Your design of course, but when you create the fabric to make that design, the entire piece of work is your own.  This class starts at the beginning with making your own fabric using non-toxic fabric paint.  From the background to mark making we will explore a wide variety of fabrics, tools and techniques to incorporate into your next original design.
