It’s Erin Dollar’s Large Scale Fabric Stenciling Workshop!
Erin is an artist and textile designer who creates beautiful patterned home goods from her San Diego studio. She joined us first in April of last year to teach an in-depth workshop on block printing and hand carving to create a custom table runner. We’re so excited to welcome her back to teach a NEW printmaking technique! Since 2012 Erin has been designing modern home goods for her company, Cotton & Flax, which unites fine art aesthetics with high-quality, natural materials.
Erin’s background as a printmaker informs her work for Cotton & Flax and her striking hand drawn patterns set her textiles apart as a blending of fine art and fine craft. She draws on her knowledge of printmaking for inspiration and to create richly patterned textiles that add modern style to any space. Cotton & Flax began as an offshoot of her fine art practice as Erin approached the task of creating utilitarian goods that reflected her background as an artist, and she continues to create work for Cotton & Flax with the mindset of an artist.
In this workshop, we are diving more into printmaking to learn about a unique technique that allows for over-sized pattern design on a favorite medium – fabric! We’ve designed large, soft, take-anywhere, drape-anywhere blankets (sewn locally in Southern California) in a wonderfully high quality, 100% linen from Los Angeles based fabric designer Robert Kaufman. Each linen blanket offers natural flax coloring as a beautiful base for lots of pattern play. We’re sending along all of the stenciling tools needed to create as well as pots of blue and black ink to design your own large scale print.
Here’s a sneak peek:
Crafter is a subscription box for people who love to make. It has brought together experienced makers and has asked them to curate a unique box of tools and materials to build something beautiful. For $68 a month, you will receive everything you need to make something new and an online workshop will help you along the way. Also, every month is not only a different project, but a different craft altogether!
