with Jennifer Love
There are many different ways to create pattern, colour and texture on paper. This workshop will introduce you to some of these methods, using supplies and equipment that you’ll find in the most surprising places. This is a fun, quick way to experiment with techniques that can be directly translated to fabric printing. Your handpainted paper can be used for wrapping paper, covering boxes for gifts or storage, making ornaments, journals and cards… or as a great work of art to hang on the wall!
