In this class you will use your own hand-printed monotypes to sew anvimprovisationally pieced wall hanging of your own design. In addition to monotype printmaking, you will learn the basics of Momigami, Japanese paper kneading, and the sewing technique of Bojagi, Korean patchwork. Your monotypes and these new techniques will allow you to create a one-of- a-kind piece suitable for hanging on a wall or in a window. After this class you will be able to translate your skills so that you can create additional fiber arts pieces using either paper or fabric. If you are comfortable hand sewing an easy running stitch, you can sew a paper patchwork piece of your own.

This course is meant to help you create a set of skills from which you can continue develop and grow your own ideas. All are welcome and no printmaking or patchwork experience is necessary.
