Make a beautiful sun print wall hanging with fabric, paint, natural materials and the power of the sun!
Helographic Prints or Sun Prints. "Sun painting or heliographic art is a process whereby certain fabric paints are applied to fabric and while still wet, objects like stencils, leafs, feathers etc are placed onto the wet fabric. It is then placed in the sun. The outlines of the objects are transferred to the fabric."
This workshop will provide an overview of the Sun Print process. Students will view and select plant materials. Students will review the Color Wheel, mix paint colors, and set up the sun print. Bring a bag lunch to enjoy while your sun print dries. After heating the prints, students will prepare a "quilt sandwich" with front, batting and backing, and the instructor will review quilting options. Students will hand quilt their piece and attach the binding.
