Fabric art
involves all mixed-media art made from fabric, using a wide range of surface
design techniques. Starting with fabric, batik, tapestry, and woven materials,
you have a myriad of contemporary techniques to explore: embroidery, stitch,
heat transfer, applique designs, screen printing techniques, textile paint techniques, embellishing, and more.
Making fabric art is perfect for the artist who loves fabric and stitch, but doesn't
have the time (or desire) to create full-size quilts or complicated pieces of
clothing. Easy sewing projects that include elements like raw-edge applique painted surface design, heat transfer images, some hand stitchery, and found objects--without
a lot of rules--are perfect for the mixed-media artist.
