Fibre arts offer fresh possibilities for writers to get their words out into the world. In this workshop, we’ll learn a simple technique for printing text on fabric that can then be incorporated into a variety of fibre arts projects — quilt squares that each feature an original haiku, wearable poetry, mixed-media wall hangings, etc. Bring a poem or write something in the workshop, then we’ll take the next step with fabric and a printer.

Location: Room C225, UBC Robson Square

Type: Workshop

Facilitators: Natasha Boskic | Leanne Boschman, Household Dangers (Jackpine Press)
