Stamp, Screen & Stencil with
Every Day Objects
Saturday & Sunday,
June 5th & 6th, 9:00am - 4:00pm
Central Florida Fairgrounds - Social Hall

Rayna's easy methods for using ordinary objects to stamp, screen, and stencil.  Using screens and low-cost, low-tech materials from the kitchen and around the house or hardware store, you will come away with your own unique fabric to use in your quilts, as seen in her book, Create Your Own Hand-Printed Cloth.

Can this Fabric be Saved??
Monday, June 7th, 9:00am - 4:00pm
Central Florida Fairgrounds - Social Hall

Update your stash without buying more! Drag out those "what was I thinking????" boring, outdated commercial fabrics or blah/ugly hand-dyes from your stash and make them new again with paints, stamps, and screens.   You won't believe the difference a few layers of paint will make!!

Pushing Creativity with “What If?”
Monday, June 7th, 6:30pm
Mark Street Senior Center

Two powerful words that can push the boundaries of your work and increase creative courage. A look at an artist’s journey from traditional to self-expression. Did you ever have a potential disaster that turned into art? Bring it to share, and we’ll look at slides of how other artists have made “lemonade from lemons.”

Artists’ Statement
I combine vivid fabrics and whimsical stories to make pictorial art quilts. My colorful, hand-dyed fabrics inspire me, as do stories of my family, friends, and home. These pieces often chronicle my life. Each wall piece I make is of my own design, of fused appliqué, and machine quilted.
