Surface Design Study Group

The Surface Design Study Group studies the embellishment of fabric to enhance the visual and/or tactile impact of the piece. Members examine the principles of design, composition and color as well as the study of various techniques to change the surface of a piece. These techniques have included stamping and stencils, foiling, batik, painting/dyeing, decorative sewing, and beading. During the year, the group has several challenge projects which call upon members to use these techniques. ‘Show and Tell’ and design feedback are also an important part of the meetings.  Meetings are held the 4th Friday of the month, 9:30 am to 1:00 pm.
