Judy Momenzadeh will instruct this basic Photoshop class covering a review of the tools and options, then some editing using layers, presets and textures. She will also walk through sizing and printing. The class will view a large tv/monitor so everyone will be able to see what’s happening in real time. Judy is an award-winning fiber artist (and photographer) who is skilled at using digital media in her art quilts. This class is highly recommended for those taking the Digital Explorations Workshop with Wen Redmond in June.

CFAL is thrilled to host mixed media artist Wen Redmond for a 3-Day workshop that will challenge and inspire you! Her Digital Explorations workshop will be held June 7, 8 & 9, 2019 (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) at the Studio in the Park, 2490 Silverest Ave., Baton Rouge, LA 70816. This workshop will immerse you in printing techniques to successfully transfer your digital imagery to fabric, fiber, and mixed media substrates.
Based on Wen’s book, ‘Digital Fiber Art: Create Your Own Mixed-Media Masterpiece,’ the focus of this class is on experimentation and construction of substrates for use on your home ink jet printer. Students will bring their own 4x6 digital images on computer or USB stick, ready to print. Students are encouraged to bring their own printer (or share with a classmate).
Costs for the 3-day workshop are $225. for CFAL members; $275. for non-members. Wen will also charge a class kit fee of $50 to $30, based on whether you bring your own printer. Class size is limited to 20. To reserve your seat, submit a $100 non-refundable deposit to CFAL, care of our Treasurer, Barbara Lankford, 8228 Oak Creek Dr., Baton Rouge, LA 70810. For further information on the class, contact Donna LaFleur at donnalafleur5@gmail.com or 225-892-4492.

Cat's Head Paper Basket Class with Nancy Hinds
Saturday, May 5
Saturday, May 5
We will once again be working with painted watercolor paper to create colorful baskets--see attached photo. This class will focus on making a "cat's head" basket on a wooden mold. Weaving a square bottom, this basket quickly becomes round (or oval) as you create the tiny feet that make the basket look like cat's ears when turned upside down. Students can choose from a round or oval shaped basket. You do not have to have taken the first class in order to take this one. There will be a $12 kit fee, which will include your prepainted and precut paper. As with the previous class, I will contact each student concerning color preferences. NOTE: If you want to paint your own 140 lb cold press watercolor paper in advance, please contact me at least two weeks prior to class.
Some people signed an interest list at our November meeting. If you would like to be added to the list, or need to remove your name, please contact Nancy at nancy@fiberartsstudio.com. The class is limited, so be sure to sign up early.********************************************************************************************
Selfies Class Lucy Landry, Instructor
Self-portraiture is an old form of art seen in stone carvings of the ancient world. The advent of mirrors in the 15th century caused a surge of artists to experiment with the form. With the popularity of cellphone cameras, the self-portrait has exploded onto the scene again and been reinvented as the Selfie.
This one day class will explore the art form of Selfie. In it, we will focus on the design work involved in making a self-portrait. There are some easy steps to go from photo to fabric art that allow you, the artist, to make a simplified interpretation of yourself.
We will spend half the day with the design exercises and then proceed to its execution in fabric. My examples here are fused appliqué and appliqué with machine embroidery. This design work is also suited to other fabric art styles including hand embroidery. The students are encouraged to choose their own style of fabric art to complete their design.
