Surface design is the coloring, patterning, structuring and transformation of fabric, fiber, paper, wood, and other materials. In this series of workshops, we will explore techniques to create lovely projects by dyeing, painting, printing, stitching, and embellishing.Learn to create unique colored papers and fabrics for journals, art books, and quilts with natural dyes.
Elizabeth has been making art-to-wear clothing and accessories since settling in Florida in the early 1980s. In 2013, Elizabeth joined a friend in opening Fab Fiber in Gulfport, where she taught traditional fiber arts, including spinning, weaving, dyeing, knitting, and sewing until its closing in March 2020. She has worked with museums, libraries, galleries, and parks throughout Florida as a living history presenter, telling stories, and giving workshops and received an individual artist grant from the Pinellas County Arts Council to further her work in field. For Florida’s Quintessential Celebration in 2013, she was awarded a Florida Humanities grant to offer lectures and workshops. Her artwork is exhibited at Tampa Bay Surface Design Guild shows, Florida CraftArt, the Morean Art Center, and Brenda McMahon Gallery.
