Monday to Wednesday
This class is suitable for all skill levels and offers a collage of creative ideas for altering fabric.
Learn how to distress, gesso, paint and stencil fabric for wonderful backgrounds with surprising texture.
Dye fabric for a soft watercolour effect. Stamp it, layer it, collage it, embellish it, and that's just
the beginning! Once the fabric is altered, students will create a double-sided accordion fabric book
(page size 7"x9") based on the theme 'I Am A Woman Who …', incorporating the delights and dreams of
our hearts. Edge treatments and use of adhesives will also be demonstrated.

KRISTIN STEINER is an accomplished fabric artist and teacher from South Carolina, USA. Join Kristin on her third visit to OSS and discover how to create layers of meaningful collage in these fabulous 'altered fabric' book creations. Kristin's gentle and encouraging teaching style makes every student feel comfortable whilst learning techniques for incorporating precious memories into fabric pages so personal they are treasured forever. These two courses stand independent of each other - students are encouraged to do both or either.
Kristin's own work is featured in 'The Art of Fabric Books', 'Altered Board Books and Beyond', on the cover of the Spring 2006 issue of 'Cloth Paper & Scissors', and most recently in several articles written for 'Sew Somerset'. She teaches extensively in the USA and runs her own creativity workshops: both at home and in Europe ('Adventures in Italy').
