Hot Textiles at Art Van Go - September 8th and 9th

A smashing sample of decorated, painted Bondaweb. I love teaching at Art Van Go , everyone is so well looked after. Even when the team are busy they find time for you. My workshop was a 2 day version of Hot Textiles. My basic workshop for learning how to use heat tools and how to distress synthetic fabrics.  It always amazes me how we start with an empty room, create mayhem, have lots of fun and then everything is tidied away at the end of the workshop and every one leaves. . . . and it's back to an empty room again. It's like magic! The teaching studio/gallery. The workshop was full with a waiting list which is always satisfying.  First of all we painted up all the products which took most of the morning. We painted Bondaweb, Tyvek and Lutradur. Painting the products and making notes. Tyvek drying on the floor of the studio. More painting.   Using Lumiere paints, scrummy. Painted Bondaweb ironed onto black cotton - just fabulous.
