Artist Iviva Olenick is back at the Center February 4-5, Saturday and Sunday, with a class that focuses on the narrative possibilities of working in fabric. Crafting a Narrative is a weekend immersion in fiber techniques, including text-based embroidery, basic applique and fabric collage techniques, and image transfer methods. She says "The goal is for students to incorporate new techniques into the creation
of a soft "book" in unconventional form, or a piece of narrative
artwork".
Iviva is a Brooklyn-based visual artist who embroiders daily. She works in series, blending illustration and text in autobiographical embroidered textiles. You can see more of her work here. and on her embroidered blog.
Registration for her class is here: don't miss out!
