SUMMARY:Let's Explore... Radical fibres\, glues and stiffeners
DESCRIPTION:Like all of our “Let’s Explore…” days\, this is a day for us to play and learn from each other. No one person is “the teacher”.  The main idea is to have the opportunity to spend time with like-minded people doing the “arty textile things” we all enjoy! \nPlease feel free to bring whatever you want to work on if you don’t want to play around with radical fibres and stiffeners. \n\nHave you used unusual fibres\, glues or stiffeners? \nOther than cotton\, silk\, wool and linen and a few others\, what unusual fabrics have you used? \nPapers? Evolon? Tyvek? Lutrador? Shapewell of various weights?\nFelt? Plastic? Bottle caps? Metals of various weights? Coke cans?\nPellon? Vilene of various weights\, right up to pelmet weight? Rug canvas? Misty fuse? Water soluble fabrics?\nFabrics that you melt with a small soldering iron (eg those retro chiffon scarves and others)\, chocolate wrappers…..\nWhat else? \nWhat’s been your glue/spray/heat gun experience? \n\nCan you bring some samples along so we can touch them and think/talk about possibilities? Or maybe bring something you have made and share how you have used these different textiles? \nCan you find ideas to share in any of your books? \nLet’s see if together we can answer any questions and explore some new ideas. \nWith respect to those who are allergic to smells and things\, it may be best if we keep things like glues\, sprays and soldering irons just to talk about rather than use inside. If it’s a fine day\, there’s always space outside! \n$15 fee payable on the day (you can do a direct deposit if you don’t have cash). \n\nPlease note: non-members will need to join us to be covered by insurance. \n\nHow to find Kingborough Womens Club Rooms

SUMMARY:Printmaking using Botany\, Stencil and Stitching
DESCRIPTION:Deborah Wace\, a printmaker with 20 years’ experience\, creates intimate direct prints from the flora of Tasmania and large-scale dry-point etchings and fabric designs based on Tasmania’s native botany. She has recently completed a Churchill Fellowship to Europe\, researching the Tasmanian botanical collections made by early French explorers to develop new designs for fabric production from Tasmanian Flora. \nIn this intimate 7-person workshop\, you will experience a stimulating environment in which to creatively explore mono-print and mark making techniques for printing on paper\, using found\, botanical and hand-cut stencils.  You will explore ways to incorporate stitching by machine or by hand into the printed work. To bring your own interest into the story of the stencil elements\, you will be encouraged to write some poetry\, a story or some words to incorporate into the print or in stitch. Deborah will provide guided discussion\, explaining key concepts to the processes involved in printmaking whilst you create new artwork and gather skills. Mono-printing is one of the most painterly\, direct and exciting printmaking techniques. \nYou will get a lot done during this workshop with access to two printing presses\, using some of Deborah’s printed fabric offcuts and your own sewing machine or hand stitching kit. You will also learn printing methods to use easily at home without a press. \nWhat you need to bring: \n\npressed plants\, feathers\, lace or fabric elements to use as stencils – please start collecting these now\nsewing machine or hand stitching tools\, materials and thread\napron\n\nWhat Deborah will provide: \n\nall printmaking materials\na simple vegetarian lunch and salad plus wine.  Please email Deb if you have any dietary restrictions she needs to be aware of. \n\n  \nCopyright: Deb WaceCopyright: Deb WaceCopyright: Deb WaceCopyright: Deb WaceCopyright: Deb WaceCopyright: Deb WaceCopyright: Deb Wace\nIf you would like to see more examples\, check out the Facebook album of Deborah’s demonstration prints and student work. \nDeborah’s fabric design studio and gallery is located next door to her Print Press & Draw studio. See her work here. \n\nDirections to Deborah Wace Print\, Press and Draw Studio\n9th floor\, 65 Murray Street\, above Bett Gallery\, on corner of Liverpool and Murray Streets\, HOBART CBD. \nParking\nThere is no unmetered parking available near the studio\, but there is an elevator. ** We have been given permission to use about half a dozen nearby car spaces\, although car pooling may be helpful. If you choose to use a sewing machine\, it can be dropped off prior to parking.  Once you have registered we will email participants with the exact details.** \n\nTickets on sale Thursday 30 September 2021. If you are not currently a financial member of Stitching and Beyond\, you can join us\, pay the small membership fee and then login to purchase your ticket. \nWorkshop bookings are subject to our refund policy. \n\n

SUMMARY:Eco dyeing with Linda Chee in Franklin
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to a workshop in Linda Chee’s own studio\, surrounded by her creativity and looking out over magical vistas of the Huon River. \nLinda is a Eucalyptus dye specialist who works with protein-based fibres such as wool\, silk\, cashmere and alpaca. \nThe day begins exploring Linda’s background and why she chooses to be a Eucalyptus specialist. Following\, you will be given a pair of wool socks with which you will explore the keystone knowledge to dye successfully using Tasmanian Eucalypts. You will also create a small piece of jewellery using dyed remnants and hand stitching. \nDuring the workshop you will consider design\, placement\, mordants\, effects of pot and core used which affects the results. \nThroughout the day\, discussion and questions are addressed as you document ideas and learning. 35 years of teaching means you will be kept busy all day. Linda recognises that each person learns in their own way.  It’s about being “hands on”\, having fun and going home with your own creation. \nLinda provides a delicious morning tea. Then later\, while all your socks are patterning in the dye baths\, we wander off for lunch in Franklin and Linda keeps a careful tutor’s eye on what is happening as the fibres and leaves do their magic in the pots. On return you extend your learning. \nAnd there’s afternoon tea…. \nThe shop will be open at the end of the workshop in case you want to take home a hand dyed treasure (cards accepted). \nA delightful opportunity to learn so much! \n\nWhat you need to bring\n\napron and/or gloves (optional)\n\n\ncash or card to purchase lunch in Franklin\n\n\nwear suitable footwear to explore the eucalypts grown for dyeing\n\n\nwear layers of clothing – warm clothes needed for the wet studio\, while the making studio is warm!\n\n\nWhat Linda will provide\n\nwool socks for dyeing\n\n\nmorning and afternoon tea\n\n\nStudio - Linda CheeProcess - Linda CheeWearable - Linda Chee\nIf you would like to see more of Linda’s work\, check out her website \n\nIf you are not currently a financial member of Stitching and Beyond\, you can join us\, pay the membership fee and then login to purchase your ticket. \nWorkshop bookings are subject to our refund policy. \n\n

SUMMARY:Let's Explore... monotypes
DESCRIPTION:Like all of our “Let’s Explore…” days\, this is a day for us to play and learn from each other. No one person is “the teacher”.  The main idea is to have the opportunity to spend time with like-minded people doing the “arty textile things” we all enjoy! \nPlease feel free to bring whatever you want to work on if you don’t want to play around with monotypes. \n\nA monotype is a hand printed ‘painting’. It is a print made by hand\, by ‘painting’ inks onto a smooth surface such as a perspex sheet\, a smooth table mat from the dollar shop\, a thick piece of plastic like you can buy off the roll from Spotlight\, or a gelli plate you may have made or purchased. You then transfer the marks/painting onto paper or fabric to produce one of a kind images that can  be used in your work in various ways. \nHave you tried monotype printing? For this day to be a success\, please bring along previous experiments or samples to share any experience you have. \nHaven’t done this before? Come along with what you have to explore.  People are always generous and will help fill in the gaps of knowledge or materials. \n\nWhat to bring \n\nWater-soluble printing ink or fabric paint. Permaset paints work well with this technique and Kraftcolour (online) sells a great range which has less odour.  You can use acrylics but they tend to stiffen fabric unless you mix them with a textile or gel medium. Oil-based inks are not advised.\nA piece of Perspex or taped glass\, OR a piece of smooth thick plastic (Spotlight) OR the smooth back of a plastic dollar-shop placemat OR your gelliplate OR home made gelatine plate. You do not need a gelliplate\, but if you want to make one\, Sally has generously shared her instructions.\nPapers and fabrics to experiment with – fabrics are better if finer weave –  cotton or silk – and ironed\nA few polystyrene trays or plastic plates for mixing colours\, plastic spoons\nSome mark making tools of your choice. Other ideas: grasses\, flat leaves\, feathers\, stencils\, old lace … the cheap kitchen tool section at tip shops is a great source for odd shapes and textures –  pastry brushes\, potato mashers\,  etc etc\nA flat surface for rolling the paint or ink onto the roller or brayer.  A plastic palette\, ice cream container lid\, butcher’s paper or even aluminium foil can be used.\nA firm brayer  (or metal spoon or empty wine bottle or baren)\nMasking tape\nNewspaper\nPlastic or a garbage bag opened out to protect your work area and another to take home your rubbish\nOld clothes\, gloves (your choice here)\, towel – all those practical things!\n\n\n$15 fee payable on the day (you can do a direct transfer if you don’t have cash)\nyour lunch (or cash to purchase lunch nearby)\, tea and/or coffee and a mug\n\nPlease note: non-members will need to join us to be covered by insurance. \n\nYour inspiration \nCheck out YouTube videos on monotype printmaking.\nExplore printmakers like Linda Germain for insights and ideas. \nStitching and Beyond member Sally has kindly shared a recipe to make your own gelatine plate for monotype printmaking. \n\nSuppliers \nPrue Quarmby (Bibiani in Ferntree – Prue’s contact: 0409391426\, bibiani@bigpond.com)\nAdArt (North Hobart)\nArtery (City)\nSpotlight (Glenorchy)\nKraftcolour online \n\nHow to find Kingborough Womens Club Rooms

SUMMARY:Let's Explore... photo transfer of images
DESCRIPTION:Like all of our “Let’s Explore…” days\, this is a day for us to play and learn from each other. No one person is “the teacher”.  The main idea is to have the opportunity to spend time with like-minded people doing the “arty textile things” we all enjoy! \nPlease feel free to bring whatever you want to work on if you don’t want to play around with photo transfer. \n\nTransferred images can add layers of interest\, mystery or texture to your work\, and can be achieved in a variety of ways. There are many methods\, and whole books have been written on the subject. Some simple methods include: \n\nGel medium or gesso using an inkjet print\nPVA glue and magazine or newsprint images\nFabric crayons (e.g. Crayola)\n\n\nMany current Stitching and Beyond members have used image transfer in their work. \nLjilja has done a lot of photo transfer using a very simple method and suggests to bring the following if you want to give it a try. \n\nInkjet photocopies (These can be drawn into before or after the transfer\,  if desired.)  Black and white images with strong contrasts work better than coloured photocopies.  Coloured ones still work but look a bit faded\, though that might be the effect you want.\nGolden Matte Medium\, or Mod Podge  (for metal transfers Ljilja prefers Tiger Grip)\nFabric – calico or white cotton.  Organza – light coloured.  Metal eg copper shim\, aluminium can.\nA brayer if you have one\nIron and a towel\nSpray bottle for water\nScissors\, drawing gear (optional)\nMagazines\, other print to experiment \n2 garbage bags\, one to protect your work surface and one to take home your rubbish\nPen\, pencil\, notebook\, masking tape\, a newspaper – all those things you may find useful on the day!\n\nHave you used any image transfer methods? For this day to be a success\, please bring along previous experiments or samples to share any experience you have. \nHaven’t done this before? Come along with what you have to explore. People are always generous and will help fill in the gaps of knowledge or materials. \n\nWhat else to bring \n\n$15 fee payable on the day (you can do a direct transfer if you don’t have cash)\n\n\nyour lunch (or cash to purchase lunch nearby)\, tea and/or coffee and a mug\n\nPlease note: non-members will need to join us to be covered by insurance. \n\nYour inspiration \nJoan Schulze was the first person to bring the idea of photo transfer to Tasmania in the 80s. Her quilts are created by combining photo-transfer processes and paint with the cottons and silks more commonly associated with quilt making. New processes lead her to new ideas\, and new ideas lead to new processes\, such as the alternative photographic processes she’s adapted for her own uses over the years. \nCollage is Joan’s favourite way to think and work. Collect\, cut up\, layer\, glue\, paint\, reposition\, cut again\, photograph\, print\, add\, subtract—until the materials and ideas become something greater than the original impulse to begin. \n\nHow to find Kingborough Womens Club Rooms

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Printing – wet and layered methods
DESCRIPTION:Now re-scheduled to a new date. Hooray!\nTickets still available. Book now to avoid disappointment. \n\nDue to popular demand\, local artist\, Margaret Jones is offering a second cyanotype printing workshop. \nCyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings\, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium and potassium ferricyanide. The chemicals react with UV light – a sunny day is great but a cloudy day is good too! \nMargaret will guide you through experimentation with the wet process to produce single images and a layered method that adds dimension and interest. \nThe images of student work from Margaret’s first workshop show results that can be achieved using botanicals and lace. \n\nMaterials you need to bring\n\nApron\, gloves\, old towel\, papers to print on – fine delicate papers will fall apart\, so look for something a little robust that can handle multiple immersions in water.\n\n\nAt least 2 backing boards of some kind – bigger than your paper. The backing boards can be anything that retain their rigidity – perspex\, hard plastic\, plywood etc.\n\n\n3 sheets of glass/perspex the same size as your backing boards – tape edges for safety.  You could buy three old and similar sized frames at an op-shop that will give you the glass and boards.\n\n\nBroad brush to spread the chemical.\n\n\nAt least 8 large bulldog clips. You can purchase these cheaply at stores such as Shiploads.\n\n\nYour own botanicals\, stencils or other items to create an image. Doilies and lace are great.\n\n\nPlease wear old clothes and bring your own lunch\, mug\, and tea and coffee makings.\n\nMargaret will supply the following\n\nChemicals\nWater baths\, chemical baths\nCling wrap\, turmeric\, salt (fine and crystal)\, vinegar spray and bubbles\nHair dryers\nWax\nComprehensive notes for dry\, wet and layered processes.\n\n\nTickets on sale now. \nIf you are not currently a financial member of Stitching and Beyond\, you can join us\, pay the small membership fee and then login to purchase your ticket. \nWorkshop bookings are subject to our refund policy. \nHow to find Kingborough Womens Club Rooms \n\n

SUMMARY:Summer Play Day 2021 - Exploring embedding and embellishment
DESCRIPTION:Stitch lies at the core of Stitching and Beyond\, and a group of us thought it would be fun to spend our first reinstated Play Day exploring embedding and embellishment as stitch techniques.  Diane Savona first introduced us to the concept many years ago with her very successful Quiltography workshops which you can view in our gallery. \nThose of us who have tried this method will have pieces (including one of Diane’s) to inspire you on the day\, but no one is leading the group – we are coming together to share\, explore possibilities and inspire each other. \nWhat to bring \n\n$5 to contribute to room hire\n\n\nyour lunch and a mug (Chris will bring tea and coffee to share this time)\n\n\nyour usual sewing kit\, sewing and embroidery threads\n\n\nflat objects for embedding – leaves\, seeds\, shells\, pieces of China\, strings of beads\, keys\, other metal\, cut out shapes…let your imagination run wild\n\n\nfabric – the technique works particularly well with a fairly sturdy piece of fabric such as woollen blanket to give body as a backing piece\, but finer\, softer fabrics work well on the front surface.\n\nYour photographic inspiration \nIn these images\, Diane and Judy both used mapping layouts\, but there could be any number of interpretations and approaches you could find in photos you’ve taken or in books you love. \n\nHow to find Kingborough Womens Club Rooms

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Printing – wet and layered methods
DESCRIPTION:Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings\, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium and potassium ferricyanide. The chemicals react with UV light – a sunny day is great but a cloudy day is good too! \nLocal artist\, Margaret Jones\, will guide you through experimentation with the wet process to produce single images and a layered method that adds dimension and interest. The images of Margaret’s work show results that can be achieved using botanicals. \nCopyright: Margaret JonesCopyright: Margaret JonesCopyright: Margaret JonesCopyright: Margaret JonesCopyright: Margaret JonesCopyright: Margaret JonesCopyright: Margaret Jones\nMaterials you need to bring\n\nApron\, gloves\, old towel\, papers to print on – fine delicate papers will fall apart\, so look for something a little robust that can handle multiple immersions in water.\n\n\nAt least 2 backing boards of some kind – bigger than your paper. The backing boards can be anything that retain their rigidity – perspex\, hard plastic\, plywood etc.\n\n\n3 sheets of glass/perspex the same size as your backing boards – tape edges for safety.  You could buy three old and similar sized frames at an op-shop that will give you the glass and boards.\n\n\nBroad brush to spread the chemical.\n\n\nAt least 8 large bulldog clips. You can purchase these cheaply at stores such as Shiploads.\n\n\nYour own botanicals\, stencils or other items to create an image. Doilies and lace are great.\n\n\nPlease wear old clothes and bring your own lunch\, mug\, and tea and coffee makings.\n\nMargaret will supply the following\n\nChemicals\nWater baths\, chemical baths\nCling wrap\, turmeric\, salt (fine and crystal)\, vinegar spray and bubbles\nHair dryers\nWax\nComprehensive notes for dry\, wet and layered processes.\n\n\nTickets on sale Thursday 21 October 2021. If you are not currently a financial member of Stitching and Beyond\, you can join us\, pay the small membership fee and then login to purchase your ticket. \nWorkshop bookings are subject to our refund policy. \nHow to find the Colour Circle Studio \n\n
