Susan Shie arrived on Sunday to teach her 5-day “Dairy Paintings for Art Quilts” workshop.

Yesterday the group did their preliminary drawings on fabric and then colored them with textile paint.

Here are a couple of fantastic examples.

Today Susan introduced the airpen. She demonstrated the care and feeding of an air pen for successful drawing.

Here is Susan showing how she does the writing on her work.

The days are going by too quickly! I can’t wait to see how everyone’s work develops of the next couple of days.

We were also kept busy today with an interview by one of our area newspapers, The Daily Mail, that is planning on featuring Hudson River Valley Art Workshops and the Greenville Arms 1889 Inn in an article to be published April 15th. The reporter and photographer also took a lot of pictures of Susan’s class in action. If they publish the story online, I’ll post the link in this blog.
