DESCRIPTION:April Sproule: New Directions in Mixed Media Textile Arts \nIn this lively and engaged presentation\, April Sproule will share some of her latest work that includes many of her Japanese Boro Inspired Stitched textile art pieces. Over the past few years\, April has fallen in love with the process of combining fabric and paper with hand stitching used in innovative new ways. \nAs she shares her techniques with you\, you’ll also see examples of the incredibly helpful sample books she creates for documenting her work. A short tutorial on the simple process she uses for making these books is included so you can make your own later using very basic materials. \nThe cyanotype process for printing on fabric rounds out this event as you see how quickly you can master this beautiful art form with no experience whatsoever. Always inspired by nature\, April discovered this was a perfect way to use the plants she loves that surround her home. April freely shares information about her art\, so there will be plenty of time for questions and answers. \nApril Sproule is an artist whose medium is textiles. She has a great love of design and the many ways it can be used to enrich our lives. She has been creating with fiber since she was old enough to hold a needle. April’s her early professional training was at the San Francisco School of Fashion Design\, and she continued her education by studying textiles\, art\, and business.  She has been a full-time studio artist at Sproule Studios for many years and enjoys experimenting with several mediums including painting\, printing\, machine stitching\, and contemporary hand embroidery. She is inspired by the diversity found in nature: flora\, fauna\, and microscopic imagery. \nThis is an online-only Zoom Webinar\, free to all active PenWAG members.\nGuests may join; a $5 contribution is requested to help defray our costs \n$5.00Read more	\n			\n \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:February 10\, 2024: Zoom Workshop | April Sproule: Japanese Boro\, Mending in Mind
DESCRIPTION:An online (Zoom) workshop on Boro techniques with April Sproule. \nIn 19th century Japan\, textiles were a valued commodity. Japanese Boro Stitching originated then as a way for people to extend the life of their worn-out textiles by repurposing them into things like floor coverings\, clothing\, and bed coverings. The worn fabrics scraps were held together using small stitches known as Boro Stitching. \nThe emphasis in this workshop will be on the hand stitching and how to create dynamic contrast using different textures and patterns. The stitching and the innovative use of beautiful papers along with the fabrics gives this work a very unique look. \nThose fabrics or scraps you’ve saved to use for “something special” will be perfect for this project. Now is a great time to raid your stash and make something wonderful with those treasures. You will make a small scroll or wall hanging\, approximately 9” x 18”. \nYou will be captivated by the Boro Stitching process as the beauty of your stitches and the feel of the texture magically begin to emerge on your cloth. Becoming immersed in the stitching\, you’ll soon discover the calming effect of this lovely practice. All your stitching will be done by hand without an embroidery hoop. \nThis workshop is suitable for all skill levels. \nWe will cover: \n\nColor and design options\nWorkflow and construction techniques for hand piecing\nFinishing ideas for your scroll\, and a PDF of the Slideshow used in class\n\nYou will learn:  \n\nHand embroidery without a hoop on fabric and paper\nA variety of mending and decorative stitches\nDevelopment of different patterns using basic stitches\n\nBoro\, Mending_Student’s Supply List \n$65 ($45 for PenWAG members) \n$65.00Read more
