agoodwinsmithI started a short course today:
http://www.capilanou.ca/ce/july/#Introduction to Textile Arts
I suspect that link isn't going to work, so boo sucks to whoever, although if you copy and paste the whole line into a URL dooey, it works.
Anyhow. I have never done anything like this. I have always wanted to learn silk screen printing, but every course I have ever signed up for has been cancelled. It turns out that the things in the list that interested me - silk screening and felting - are not going to be done, but instead a lot of block printing and dyeing. At first I was disappointed, but even this one day playing with a badly cut stamp and black pigment stuff on white fabric was rather appealing. I could have spent the whole day just farting around trying out things.
So, even though my long unrequited yearning for silk screening is again going to be thwarted, I think this will be a lot of fun, and a lot more useful than I thought it might be.
