The Power of Designing your own Fabric (Lecture)

San Fernando Valley Arts & Cultural Center 18312 Oxnard St, Tarzana

Designing fabric is more than just putting pencil to paper or generating pixels in Photoshop; it’s about connecting and sharing stories and ideas. Does your design medium matter? Is it cheating to use a computer in your work? Does it make it less “art”? See why Becka Rahn says that it is more. Join artist and Spoonflower Handbook co-author Becka Rahn as she shows you what it is like to design and print your own fabrics, and the unexpected places that can take you.

Kaleidoscope Geometrics Workshop

San Fernando Valley Arts & Cultural Center 18312 Oxnard St, Tarzana

Get a taste of what it is like to digitally design and print your own fabric with Spoonflower. We’ll start with cut paper, transform it to pixels, and create a seamlessly repeating geometric pattern all in one session. No special software or computer skills are required; you can create amazing patterns using just your web browser and some simple design tools. You will see all of the steps to design a fabric from start to finish and you will take home a printed swatch of your design (mailed to you after class).   You will need a laptop computer with a current web browser for this class. Materials fee $5 per student, payable to the instructor at class.
