Explore the "seasons" of your creativity as you learn innovative surface design techniques. Transform canvas fabric into a textural delight with gesso and imprinting, create designs on fabric using natural materials and a bleaching process, experiment with patinas on copper, master image transfers on Lutradur®, and layer and collage to alter a wooden box in which to store your guide. Using beautiful and abundant natural elements, create a handsome field guide housing the observations of your creative process. All levels welcome.
