SUMMARY:Lust for Rust
DESCRIPTION:Rust is an eco-friendly\, inexpensive\, and easy medium for dyeing fabric or paper. Found objects that are made of iron or steel can corrode to produce iron oxide\, creating interesting\, often unexpected imprints. Colors can range from taupe to oranges and browns and can transform already colored fabric into other hues. In the first session you will repurpose used cloth (cotton and linen are best; silk\, wool\, thread\, and yarn are also possible) by putting it through a rust dye bath to achieve different depths of color. In the second session you will examine the shapes and colors that were created and determine what kind of stitching will best enhance them. Your creations may be framed\, added to quilts\, collaged with other artworks\, or integrated into clothing. Mirka Knaster creates 2-D and 3-D fiber art in her studio overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Sonoma coast. She works with old and new textiles and handmade paper from Asia\, dyes used cloth with indigo and rust\, and incorporates design samples that would otherwise enter a landfill. With degrees in three cross-cultural fields\, she has found inspiration around the world and in her local environment. Her work has been exhibited internationally and is in private collections across the U. S. \nShe has taught a variety of classes in Northern California\, Chicago\, and Korea. She was one of the founders of Korea Textile Tours and curated several exhibits of Korean fiber artists. A former board member of the Textile Arts Council\, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco\, and chairperson of the tours and workshops committee\, she organized fiber art events in the Greater Bay Area.

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Toning: Beyond the Blue
DESCRIPTION:Learn to tone cyanotype prints using botanical and chemical agents to achieve a range of colors beyond the classic Prussian blue. Beginning with a brief overview of the cyanotype process and the science behind toning\, you will proceed to coat and expose watercolor paper to create base cyanotypes. Experimenting with botanical toning baths including green tea\, coffee\, and safflower petals\, you will explore both single-bath and multi-bath toning. You will also learn bleaching with washing soda (sodium carbonate) as a corrective tool. \nPartial bleaching can restore highlight details and rebalance overexposed or flat prints before toning. You will leave with 3-5 finished prints and the knowledge to continue toning at home. No prior cyanotype experience is required\, though familiarity with the basic process is helpful. Over the past decade\, Mohammed has returned to analog photography as a way of reconnecting with craft and materiality. \nHis work often employs unconventional surfaces\, including papyrus\, to explore the intersection of his Egyptian heritage with contemporary travel\, landscape\, and street photography. He invites viewers to reflect on how we perceive artifacts\, museums\, and archaeological sites through our globally connected lenses. Mohammed works across multiple image-transfer and printing techniques—including inkjet\, dye sublimation\, thermal transfer\, cyanotype\, and Polaroid emulsion lifts—and is currently focused on the intricacies of carbon transfer printing.

SUMMARY:Fiber Art Cards: Composing in Small Spaces
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is an invitation to play with materials on hand\, and we will discover what amazing works can be created with things we might otherwise toss. Composing in a limited space has many creative advantages for both experienced and new art-makers. It can help break through creative blocks and stimulate new ideas\, all without performance anxiety or a major investment of time and money. Using a variety of fabrics\, yarns\, threads\, papers\, and embellishments\, you will cut\, fold\, layer\, glue\, stitch\, mark\, and embellish to ultimately create an abstract composition. Your composition will fit inside a 5 x 7 Strathmore photo frame card\, and at the end of the workshop you will leave with two cards that may be further elaborated at home.

SUMMARY:Luminous Layers in Oil and Cold Wax
DESCRIPTION:Cold wax medium has roots in the encaustic tradition\, but unlike encaustic\, it requires no heat. Made from beeswax\, resin\, and a small amount of solvent\, cold wax is mixed with oil paint to create luminous\, velvety surfaces rich with texture and depth. It speeds the drying time of oil paint\, allows for beautiful layering\, and invites excavation\, scraping\, and mark making that can reveal surprising passages beneath the surface. Cold wax is both forgiving and adventurous\, making it an exciting medium for painters who love process\, atmosphere\, and tactile surfaces. This workshop is designed for beginning and intermediate students who want to explore the expressive possibilities of oil and cold wax. We will start with timed warm-up exercises on paper to loosen up\, build confidence\, and discover the language of texture and gesture. From there\, students will move on to two prepared 12 x 16 cradled panels. \nYou will learn the fundamentals of working with cold wax medium—mixing ratios\, layering\, texture building\, and composition—while also exploring more advanced techniques such as Gamsol reductions and indirect transfer methods for creating unexpected and compelling marks. Diane Williams and Chuck Potter are painters and educators who both earned MFA degrees in Arts and Consciousness. Their teaching brings together a deep commitment to abstraction\, experimentation\, and the expressive possibilities of oil and cold wax. Both studied oil and cold wax medium with noted artists Jerry McLaughlin and Rebecca Crowell in Greece and Benicia\, California. Diane also studied with Jerry and Rebecca in San Miguel de Allende\, Mexico\, and with Jerry in Ballinglen\, Ireland. Together\, Diane and Chuck create a workshop environment that is generous\, exploratory\, and grounded in years of studio practice\, helping students build both confidence and fluency with this rich and versatile medium. Websites: www. \ndianewilliamsart. net I www. chuckpotterart. net Fee: Members $300; Non-members $350 Materials Fee: An additional materials fee of $30 will be paid directly to the instructors. This fee includes cold wax medium\, Arches oil paper\, wax paper\, tissue paper\, Gamsol odorless mineral spirits and two prepared wooden panels. Materials to Bring: Please bring oil paints\, brayers\, and Messermeister scrapers (available at www. coldwaxacademy com or Amazon)\, along with any tools or materials you enjoy for creating texture: burlap\, bubble wrap\, chains\, bamboo skewers\, sea sponges\, and other found objects.
