PRESYMPOSIUM WORKSHOP SESSIONS
June 2, 3 & 4, 2010
JACQUELYN RICE & UOSIS JUODVALKIS
Professor Jacquelyn Rice, received a Masters of Fine Arts from the
University of Washington, Seattle
in 1970. She has taught at the
Rhode Island School of Design,
since 1977, Professor Emeritus in
2005. Professor Rice has received
three National Endowment
grants. She has traveled
extensively to India where
she lectured at the National
Institute of Art and Design. She
collaborates with her husband,
Uosis Juodvalkis, an expert
in computer technology and
photography, developing a line of digitally printed garments and
scarves. Their collection is called Gild the Lily.
Digital Design for Wearable Art
Fiber meets technology in this workshop; a study in the art of digital
fabric design. Jacquie and Uosis will lead you in the journey from
simple photograph to finished fabric design. Bring your laptop for
an introduction to manipulating photographs to create overlapping
shapes, repeating patterns, depth and color that can be transferred to
fabric. Explore ways to design and layout a fabric with your finished
garment in mind. Jacquie and Uosis will share their process of how to
bring out the best in both the fabric and the finished piece. Complete
your own design during class and see the finished work professionally
printed on a scarf.
You will need a laptop computer with a current version of Adobe
Photoshop (CS or newer). Basic computer skills needed. Please see
supply list for more detailed information. (Supply list available after March 15, 2010.)
SANDRA ERICSON
Sandra Ericson is the Director of the Center for Pattern Design in St.
Helena, California and a leading
educator in the Clothing and
Textile field. She chaired the
department and courses at City
College of San Francisco for over
30 years. She has developed two
small businesses in the field,
Body Blueprints, for custom
pattern making and Antiquity
Press, a publishing business for
out-of-print fashion books. Her
personal research has lead her to
become one of the few experts
on the work of Madeleine Vionnet, the most famous pattern maker
of the 20th Century. She has given many private classes, seminars
and workshops at The Sewing Workshop and Apparel Arts in San
Francisco and often does lectures to guilds, clubs and national
apparel industry groups.
Madeleine Vionnet: Concepts & Techniques
In 1930's Paris, Madeleine Vionnet revolutionized haute couture by
using the natural fluidity of diagonal woven fabric to conform to the
body with only a few seams and darts. This method of design and
construction uses no zippers, buttons or hooks. The garments are
entirely free of facings, linings, interfacing, shoulder pads or other
confining features. The concept requires that the garment be cut so
perfectly that nothing else is necessary to convey the design. In this
workshop, students will learn to adapt the concepts and techniques
of Madeleine Vionnet to their own art fabric, sculpting it in such a
way that it is used to its best advantage and in the most artistic cut
for figure and the fabric both.
LISA KLAKULAK
Klakulak received a BFA in Fiber Arts in 1997 from Colorado State
University and was an Artist in
Residence at the Appalachian
Center for Craft from 2002-
2005 where she focused on an
in-depth exploration of the felt
medium. Currently, Klakulak
creates wearable textiles,
accessories and sculpture in
her Asheville, NC studio and
frequently travels across the
country to instruct workshops
focused on felting techniques.
Her work is exhibited at Penland
Gallery (NC), Grovewood Gallery (NC), Julie: Artisan's Gallery (NY)
and at national fiber and fine craft exhibitions. Klakulak's work has
appeared in Fiber Arts, Surface Design Journal, Shuttle Spindle Dyepot
and Interweave Press's Special Felt Issue and has been included
in Felted Jewelry, Fabulous Felted Scarves and Neck Wraps, 500
Pendants (Lark) and in How We Felt (Interweave Press).
Sampling Felt/Fabric Fusion &
Partial Felt Applique Techniques
Participants will gain an elaborate understanding of wool fiber's
biology providing insights for various techniques to achieve well
crafted and innovative felt wearables. Sampling will cover: creating a
well fulled felt fabric that maintains drape, controlling the puckering
and texturing of fused fabrics, finishing the edges of fused fabrics
with felting techniques and the use of handmade partial felts to
create both blurred and sharply defined shapes, patterns and imagery.
This workshop is co-sponsored by the Weavers Guild of Minnesota.
POSTSYMPOSIUM WORKSHOP SESSIONS
June 7 & 8, 2010
LAURIE SCHAFER
Laurie Schafer is an award winning fiber artist creating couture for
both the body and home. Laurie
has been featured in numerous
publication including Ornament
in 1997, The Fiberarts Book of
Wearable Art in 2002, Ornament
in 2003 and Fiberarts in 2005.
Laurie exhibits her fiber art at
quality art and fashion shows
across the United States, such
as the American Craft Council
Shows, Wearable Expressions,
Artwear in Motion, Artwear,
Threads and the Palm Springs
Desert Museum. Her artwear is
in the permanent collection at the Goldstein Gallery at the University of
Minnesota and at the Minnesota Historical Society. Laurie's signature
ornate applique is primarily silk dupioni layered onto fabrics which run
the gamut from silk organza to crushed velvet. The background fabric
may be solid but is often pieced, dyed in a shibori technique or woven
in an ikat technique. All of Laurie's fiber art, whether for the body or
home, is exquisitely finished in a couture manner.
Applique: Beyond the Basics
Bold printed fabric in a garment design may seem to overwhelm a
small person but look miniscule on a larger person. Applique allows
the artist to change the size and placement of an existing motif to
suit the size and shape of a garment and the person wearing it. In
this workshop, each student will construct an appliqued vest and
develop a design for a two-color applique, based upon their own size
and shape. Laurie will share the products and techniques she uses to
produce a couture quality garment.
CAROLYN KALLENBORN
Carolyn Kallenborn is an Assistant Professor at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison in the
Design Studies Department.
She was an assistant professor
in the Fiber Department at the
Kansas City Art Institute from
2001 - 2007. Carolyn served
as the Coordinator for "Off
The Grid" the 2009 Surface
Design Association international
textile conference. Carolyn
works with fabric and metal to
create flowing garments and
sculptural pieces. She shows her
award-winning, hand painted
garments and sculptures in galleries and exhibitions both nationally
and internationally. In addition, her work has been featured in such
magazines as Fiberarts, Surface Design Journal and Shuttle, Spindle
and Dyepot.
Intuitive Patternmaking
Simple garment shapes can often show off a textile piece and can
result in the most intriguing garment designs. However, simple does
not have to mean boring. In this workshop, participants will learn how
to listen to the fabric and respond to the way it wants to move and
behave. Start with your artistic concept and the fabric that inspires
you, and let those elements shape your design. Through this approach,
an unusual garment design can be developed that fully expresses the
inherent qualities of a particular textile. Learn draping concepts and
finishing techniques of an intuitive patternmaking process.
Supply lists for workshops will be available after March 15, 2010.
