CREATE A FIBER ART POSTCARD WITH

WOMEN ON THE FRINGE

The Cultural Arts Association will bring back the �Women on the Fringe� to lead a workshop on creating fiber art postcards. This �art quilting� class will take place on January 24 from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm at the Bayou Arts Center at 104 Hogtown Lane just off County Road 393 in Santa Rosa Beach.

Participants of the day-long workshop will make and paint their own fabrics and will be introduced to different techniques using rubber plates, foiling, watercolor crayons, stamping, beading and embellishing. The end result will be 4" x 6" postcards that can be mailed or used as small pieces of artwork. Students will also make ATCS (Artist Trading Cards) that are 2.5" x 3.5" in size and traded like baseball cards between artists.

Students will need to bring their own scissors, washable glue stick, any preferred fabrics, a brown bag for trash, paper and pencil, lunch and drinks. All other supplies will be provided by the instructor for a $5 supply fee, and the full list and more class information can be viewed at the �Women on the Fringe� blog at http://postcards-atcs.blogspot.com.

Participants are also asked to bring their own sewing machine with its electrical cord, two pre-wound bobbins with neutral thread, a new needle and the machine�s manual, if possible. A few sewing machines will be available. Please let the CAA know upon registration if you are able to bring your own machine or will require one.

Cost for the workshop is $65 for CAA members and $75 for non-members. To register, call 850-622-5970 or email culturalarts@embarqmail.com. If there are any questions about this workshop please feel free to contact instructor Ann Morell at yzarctoo@aol.com or 231-9006.
