Brush and Stencil with Fabric Paints

Lisa Cresson

Web Site

Explore emblishment using your favorite motif with freehand brushstrokes on your second-hand and recycled favorite clothing or footwear. Mix and match the abstract and realistic. Paint, brushes, and some stencil materials will be provided to participants and some pattern motifs to reorganize or copy. Workshop facilitator Lisa Cresson has been exploring mixing traditional paint with digital images and will provide an overview as to an approach to paint emblishment which will last through the wear and wash process. On the day of the workshop, there will be a resource guide for all who want to pursue more on their own.

She started to paint around the age of five and since that time, Lisa Cresson has been working with images as much as possible. Most recently, she has taken her interest in digital images and Adobe Photoshop, combining traditional materials with digital images on all types of mediums and materials at www.ImageTransferArts.com. More recently she has begun to collect the materials necessary to open a custom leather shop where women can order the shoes they want; especially the ubiquitus Cowboy boot. in vintage or Boho or 80-so designs at www.RexKelly.org. She has a BFA from Southampton College and nearly completed a MA in Art History-Museum Studies on scholarship from the City College.
