This special workshop, held every year, introduces an unusual combination of approaches to constructing or embellishing cloth. This year Hilary Young will lead the class through an eclectic mix of techniques for manipulating synthetic fibre. Students will work with polyester organza, satin, tyvek, bondaweb, and lutradur. 
The class will focus on the skilled use of disperse dyes and will use these for direct-transfer printing. The potential of inkjet printers for direct printing will be demonstrated. Indirect transfer printing using a paper intermediary will also be explained. Works will be augmented through foil application, heatpress methods (using both broad area and stylus tools), and layering techniques. This workshop is certain to expand your approach to working with cloth and take your work to the next level. Hilary Young will also teach the Screen Printing workshop. Hilary Young Hilary Young has followed her early childhood delights with colour and illustration into a successful career. A student of the Edinburgh Art School, she received commendations from the Royal Society of Arts in her third year. Her work has been exhibited in the prestigious New Designers show in London where she won an award from Osborne and Little. After graduation she exhibited and sold work at Premier Vision in Paris. Ever adventurous, she later joined the Scottish Lace Company, the last remaining manufacturer of cotton Nottingham Lace (still using 100-year-old looms). Hilary was senior in-house designer where she took the role of creating new collections. Recent interests have brought her to Canada and she arrived in Vancouver in 2004. Currently, in addition to her textile arts, she is on staff at Maiwa Handprints.
