Introduction
Glenys Mann - founder and owner of Fibre Arts Australia – organizes five-day textile/fiber conferences throughout Australia, which feature highly talented international artists and designers, who share their knowledge and practices. My time at Cloth Arts@Hunters Hill was an immensely rich and rewarding experience and I am grateful to Glenys, my students and the other tutor’s who made it such a memorable event.
Other international tutor’s, who shared their valuable knowledge, techniques and informative lectures included: John Garrett (Experimental Fibre Constructions with Alternative and Recycled Materials, USA); Sherrill Kahn (Mixed Media, Collage/Applique and Composition Techniques, USA); Cherilyn Martin( New Dimensions in Surfaces & Stitch, A Journey of Discovery, Netherlands); Cherrilyn Tyler(A Little Bit Of Frippery, UK); Els Van Baarle (Transformation through Wax, Netherlands). At the end of the workshops programs, each class displayed their final projects at a gala evening exhibition for all to admire.
If you are contemplating doing a five-day workshop in Sydney I would highly recommend attendance at next year’s Cloth Arts@Hunters Hill. It will be a fun filled and rewarding experience for all who attend. See the following url for more information about 2012 Cloth Arts@Hunters Hill and other conference workshop programs - Fibre Arts
Five-Day Workshop Synopsis
This workshop – “In Pursuit of ArtCloth: Disperse Dye and Transfer Printing” was organized by Fibre Arts Australia as part of the Cloth Arts@Hunters Hill conference/workshop program. It was held at St. Joseph’s College in Hunters Hill, Sydney from the 26th September to 1st October 2011.
The following attended the workshop: Maz Beeston (NSW), Jayne Carruthers (NSW), Judi Crawford (NSW), Kathy Geurts (NSW), Carolyn Hickey (Qld), Robyn (NSW), Carole McLachlan (Chile, South America), Barbara McLennan (NSW), Dianne Leith Page (NSW), Susan Pepper (Vic) and Mandy Smith (Vic).
This five-day workshop was an introduction to the dye sublimation process (transfer printing) and melded participants experiences as valuable resources to create new artistic landscapes using disperse dyes. Participants created their own custom dyed fabric using disperse dyes via direct imaging, experimental and layering exercises. They applied painted, textured, printed imagery onto papers with disperse dyes and then transfer/sublimated the prints to polyester and blended synthetic fabrics to create a suite of color and pattern studies via an iron or heat press. Participants were also introduced to the tutor’s signature MultiSperse Dye Sublimation (MSDS) technique featuring multiple layering and resists employing flora as ‘the thematic’ experience. The MSDS works imbue richly colored, textural and vibrant 3-dimensional imaging to the cloth surface. With these new skills participants could then collage, layer, applique, hand & machine embellish their newly made fabrics into truly unique creative expressions.
In summary, a fun and exciting workshop, where individual instruction and experimentation forged the potential of each participant. All levels were welcome to attend. See participant’s outputs below.
