*String Painting on Fabric* WAX PASTELS ON FABRIC WORKSHOP at the International Quilt Festival

Have you ever wanted to imprint lines randomly on fabric? Use *wax pastels* and learn how to set this versatile medium.
 
*String Painting on Fabric* is one of my new workshops that will debut at the International Quilt Festival this coming fall 2016 in Houston.

This workshop will be held on Thursday November 3rd from 2 to 5pm. CLASS 487
Each student will create this simpler version of the first figure shown above. 
After the painting is finished, we will add simple and yet dramatic hand-embroidery stitches.
 
I hope you will join me. I would love to meet you. Let me know if you have any questions.
