RECIPE & INGREDIENTS FOR BRILLIANT DESIGN
with KAREN GOETZINGER
MAY 13-15, 2016
The weekend of May 13 I will be in Kingston, Ontario for the
Fibreworks Weekend Workshops. I have taught for Fibreworks several times
and it is always a wonderful experience in a great setting. My upcoming
workshop, "
Recipe and Ingredients for Brilliant Design," demystifies
and brings practical clarity to the often confusing principles and
elements of design. For more information about this workshop and to
register for it, go to the
Fibreworks Kingston website. Hope to see you in Kingston!

RECIPE & INGREDIENTS FOR BRILLIANT DESIGN
MAY 13-15, 2016
St. Lawrence College
Room 00060
Lecture, Friday Evening May 13th
Location to be announced
Course Fee: $125
This
workshop removes the mystery and brings practical clarity to the
principles and elements of design. Learn the principles that are the
foundation and the language of good design by experimenting with each of
the elements during 2 days of exercises on paper, fabric and in
stitch.
Through these studies you will learn to understand how the
principles
interact with the elements of design in creating successful
compositions and how they relate to your own fibre art practice.
Expect great results as you study and develop new work for your personal Studio
practice during this design focused workshop. Plan to experiment with design play techniques you have thought about and always wanted to
explore. Stretch your skills base while working through Karen's assignments as you build your confidence, explore technique in all new ways and work on perhaps an all new series to add to your 2016 exhibition work.
Whether
an experienced designer or beginning your adventure with original
design, Karen's years of successful development of all new work for her
own collections will surely provide a great foundation for your
continuing studio work.
Plan to ask lots of questions, bring your own design dreams to paper and
stitch and be prepared to share in an exciting workshop weekend with
like minded fibre professionals.
Enjoy some of Karen's beautiful designs - and please visit her

Known for her finely detailed mixed media textile constructions that are
influenced by her roots in quilt making, couture construction, and her
life-long passion for the urban landscape and architecture, Karen Goetzinger
captures urban life through the perspective of treasured but fading
memories. Using painted and stretched canvas as a giant embroidery hoop,
she sketches, with thread, the imprint of urban landscapes on
individual memory. Each artwork is intentionally without figurative
elements thereby allowing the viewer to become the city’s human element,
in solitary interaction with the landscape and their personal
narratives and fleeting memories.
