A workshop to stretch your thinking and learn alternative techniques to create exciting, innovative digital and mixed media art and embellishment.
During this workshop students will learn techniques to produce Digital Glass, Translucent Window Panels, Digital Tiles, Digital Jewelry & embellishments along with material choices, transfer techniques, printing tips for these techniques, generating ideas, a variety of professional assembling and finishing techniques, problem solving, workflow methods for overcoming blockages, mental and physical tips for stimulating and maintaining creativity. Exploring Digital candles, boxes, textiles and using the students digital camera files to generate images will be explored as time permits. The power of the computer will be demonstrated although this workshop is also suitable for students who don’t use the computer. It is more about what to do with images than creating the images. Alternative image sources will also be completely explored.
There should be ample time for those who want additional instruction on using various software programs to achieve specific results.
The power of the computer will be demonstrated although this workshop is also suitable for students who don’t use the computer. It is more about what to do with images than creating the images. Those students who want to bring a laptop can do so, but it isn’t necessary. The instructor will have her laptop.
