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 Fibre Arts@Ballarat 2013 was an immensely rich and rewarding experience and I am grateful to Glenys, my students and the other tutor’s (see last weeks post) who made it such a memorable event.
If you are contemplating doing a five-day workshop in Victoria I would highly recommend attendance at next year’s Fibre Arts@Ballarat 2014. It will be a fun filled and rewarding experience for all who attend. See the following url for more information about the 2014 Fibre Arts@Hunters Hill and other conference workshop programs – see "Fibre Arts Australia".
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 Fibre Arts@Ballarat 2013 conference/workshop program. It was held at Ballarat and Queen's Anglican Grammar School in Wendouree, Ballarat, Victoria, from the 6th – 12th April 2013.
The following attended the workshop: Bernadette Dillon (Vic), Cathy Faull (Vic), Karlyn Hanchard (SA), Patricia Jones (NSW), Marea McGuire (Vic), Sylvia Taylor (Vic), Isabelle Vu (Vic). Isabelle Vu, a student from Loreto College Ballarat was awarded a 'Fibres Ballarat Scholarship' to attend the workshop.
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.

"Top Table" Decorative Artworks
The "Top Table" was a fun and delightful concept as it set the tone for each dining event during the week.
Each class was responsible for decorating and eating at that table for one meal during the week. The decorations could be as wild or as serious as your imagination and workshop group desired. All decorations remained on the 'Top Table' until the end of the week. Al items were then sold and the monies collected for the Ballarat Scholarship Fund.
The workshop participants in my class decided to create a series of beautiful "Art Mats" where they employed disperse dyes and various techniques they had gleaned on synthetic velvet. Each Art Mat was A3 in size.
