Today, I taught my new class, Beyond Potato Prints.
It turned out to be a private lesson. Perhaps that could be blamed on the time change or the unbelievably beautiful day.
My student, Haleh and I created our own beautiful and colorful day: Cutting, carving and printing fruit and vegetables.

I continue to be amazed by the versatility of this simple concept.
I'm considering challenging myself to create one-of-a-kind yardage with this technique. Just like a monoprint, it could never be repeated, as the fruits and vegetables are perishable...within a day or so, they start to soften and change. I would have to work quickly finishing a yard or two in a day.

I wonder...would that process be considered a form of wabi-sabi?
What a lucky student and what beautiful fabric she made!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, Deb. We had a lot of fun and Haleh sure did make some beautiful pieces of fabric! This was a new class for me to teach so I'm very happy that it was a success.
DeleteSometimes one-on-one can be a good thing - I'm so impressed by the results of your workshop! It makes me want to cut up some produce and bring it into the studio (one of these days)...
ReplyDeleteI was so fortunate to have Haleh as a student. We spent a lovely day and she really printing some beautiful fabrics. Hope you cut some of that produce too...lots of fun!
