I have some really exciting news to share with you all. I’ve been accepted into Jane Dunnewold’s Mastery Surface Design program! I can’t even begin to convey how excited I am about the opportunity to study with the master of surface design. It’s a 2 1/2 year program with 2 trips a year to San Antonio to work with Jane in her teaching studio which you can see on her website here. I was very happy to find out that Judi is one of the 11 other artist that will be going through the program too.
Since the first set of assignments for the program don’t arrive until October 1st I am continuing to explore creating textured silk surfaces. The one that I created for the vessel in this post was done using a stiff interfacing which worked well for the vessel but for my next project I wanted something with a little less body.
This is a really large piece,45″x72″and I’ve used Lutradur as the base for this one so it’s got a bit more drape to it than the one I used for the vessel. There is some really great texture on the surface of this:
The surface of this still needs a bit of color altering but I’ll wait to do that after I have the pieces cut out.
You’ll find a couple of new free projects to the 3Creative Studios website today,check them out here!
Congratulations! How great is that? This will be a fabulous opportunity for you and I can’t think of anyone else who would truly grow and blossom through it you will be able to.
Fantastic news Sue. Joining something like Jane’s design class will be wonderful and will give you even more inspiration. I can’t wait to see what you will make during your course.
