			Paper & Metal Leaf Lamination March 5-7, 2010 (10:00A - 4:30P) — Lamination is the process of applying paper or metal leafing to a cloth surface with a silk screen and gel medium. Patterns may be simple or complex, in black and white, or color. Laminated fabric can serve as a background for additional printing, stitching and manipulating, or stand alone as an art piece. Participants will produce a set of laminated samples and then forge ahead on a larger study. Discussions include a survey of appropriate papers, leafing materials, and mediums, and a review of basic design principles. Please see SSAC website for a materials list.

			Japanese Yuzen March 19-21, 2010 (10:00A - 4:30P) — Japanese yuzen dyeing is world-renown for its beauty of design and intricacy of techniques. Several stand-alone processes, each with its own distinct personality, are combined into a symphony of coordinated delight. In this class we will be working with rice-paste resist, direct painting techniques, clamping and string resist, indigo and other natural dyes — and we will touch lightly upon a minimalist approach to gold leafing and embroidery. A very basic knowledge of shibori (tie-dye/clamping) and dyeing is useful but not required. Tuition covers dyes/silks/other consumables, use of equipment, and a DVD of techniques.
