DESCRIPTION
Join artist Kate Dwyer for a hands-on, one-day workshop where you'll explore the unique and creative process of making fabric maché bowls. Kate will guide you step by step through the techniques she uses to transform fabric into beautifully textured, one-of-a-kind forms.
You’ll have the opportunity to bring your own cotton or silk fabrics to incorporate personal touches into your work, or you can choose from the selection of materials provided by the instructor. As you shape and layer your fabric, you’ll learn about design, structure, and finishing techniques to create a sturdy yet delicate form.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have one or two handmade bowls to take home, where they will continue to dry and cure. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced maker, this class is a wonderful way to experiment with new materials and discover an exciting approach to textile-based sculpture in a fun and supportive environment.

ABOUT KATE
What it comes down to is that Kate Dwyer is compelled to make stuff — gardens, glass paintings, necklaces, tortured egg shells, fabric and thread bowls, batik, essays. Kate's formal training was in horticulture/landscape design. The rest is self-taught. Her classes are well-attended and well-loved and she excited to share her techniques with other artists!
