Using Tin Ceiling Tiles to Paint Fabric

Recently seven like minded artists met for a one day workshop using tin ceiling tiles to create images on fabrics.  The workshop was led by Teresa Shippy, an outstanding artist and teacher.  The day was filled with sunshine, excitement and tremendous camaraderie with other artists.  I give this workshop the highest thumbs up and hope to enroll again sometime in the future.

The following pictures are from images that I created using the method that Teresa devised.
