This very popular workshop has been expanded to three days. Shannon’s class will provide students with the opportunity to learn and practise the textile collage techniques she uses to create her own work. Centuries-old Japanese kimono wax-resist dyeing (Rozome) using acid dyes will be combined with contemporary printing and embellishing techniques. The results can yield a stunning mixture of image and tone. These multiple techniques are layered to achieve a lush depth of colour and semi-abstract imagery that has a unique air of mystery and intrigue. Using combinations of technique and imagery, participants will create a range of fabric reference pieces as a future resource to transform into finished projects. This class is a rare opportunity to work beside a master crafts- person who is also the force behind a successful artisan business. Shannon Wardroper Shannon Wardroper majored in textile design and art history at the Alberta College of Art, Calgary. A six-month sojourn in Asia evolved into 12 years during which she studied traditional kimono surface design techniques and kimono dressing in Kyoto, Japan, followed by a shift in focus to ikat, supplementary weaving, and natural dyeing in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Shannon exhibits her contemporary wall hangings as well as her interior accessory line under the name Geernaerts Textile Arts. The work is shown internationally, with an annual highlight being botanically themed work for the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show in London. View her work at www.geernaerts.org.
