Instructed by Mary Ann Fritz
Students will make several of their own stamps and use them to make four or more fabric prints. Mary Ann will also help students plan for finished artworks using the fabrics created. If you were in a previous class bring those pieces along as you may want to add more layers of color. Supply list will be provided upon registration.
This workshop will take place at Art’s Cafe, located at 5 East Main Street, Springville, NY.

Mary Ann Fritz has been creating works of art for many years, having discovered sewing when she was a teenager and then watercolor and oils soon after. When given a set of silk paints and asked to experiment with them and teach a class, she jumped on the idea and never looked back. She has been painting and dying fabric ever since. Mary Ann loves to find new ways of applying color to fabric, which includes such techniques as nature printing, screen printing, ice dying, stamping, shibori, sun printing, colored pencils and monoprinting. She begins her art pieces on plain white fabric using washes of color and layer upon layer of paints applied differently for each piece. Then, she frequently makes her own carved stamps to add bold images to the fabrics, and then finishes with quilting stitches and the embellishments which add texture and depth to her art works. Nature is an important part of her life and frequently shows up in her finished products.
