1 pm - 4 pm
All skill levels
$60 IGMA Members / $70 Nonmembers
Spend an afternoon with Jamie Carrington, the Textile Master and discover secrets and techniques in fabric for all of your miniature projects. Students will learn what to look for and, more importantly, what to avoid when choosing fabric as well as tools to use and how to use them and a simple way to make sure that “colours” work in small scale.
Students will each be given a swatch of fabrics to use for comparison while fabric shopping plus a booklet that tells you all about the fabrics used in each historical period and the fabrics to choose to get the correct look in miniature. Students will also learn how to select the correct trim and lace and even how to print fabric on your home computer. There will be some sewing in class, so “bring your spectacles.” A list of recommended fabric and trim stores in Manhattan for you to visit will be provided. Students should bring fine scissors.
