The Lakeshore Fiber Arts Guild’s October meeting will feature Mary Sundstrom presenting a hands-on program, ”Turkish Marbling on Fabric.” The program will be Oct. 2, at the Holland Area Arts Council, 150 East 8th St., Holland, MI 49423, starting at 6:00pm. A $5 guest fee will be requested at this speaker’s meeting for those who are not members of the guild and, for those wanting to do the hands-on marbling, a $10 fee for all supplies is required.
Explore the art of Turkish marbling on fabric. Mary Sundstrom will demonstrate how to float paints and inks on thickened water using traditional techniques. During the program, she will demonstrate how to create the sizing used to float pigment as well as how to treat the fabric with mordant so the color stays put. Once the color is applied the fabric is draped on the surface, and the fun of creating patterns can begin. The result is the transfer of beautiful swirling shapes onto the surface.
With a $10.00 supply fee mordant pre-treated fabric swatches will be available to use and learn from as well as the use of all tools and inks. Pre-registration is required by Sept. 28 by emailing directly to Mary Sundstrom at mary@hollandarts.org.
Mary Sundstrom is the Program Director for the Holland Area Arts Council. She also teaches at the arts council and sells her work through eBay.
The Lakeshore Fiber Arts Guild invites anyone interested in the textile fiber arts to their monthly program meetings held the first Wednesday of each month at the Holland Area Arts Council.
