Warp Painting at Peters Valley School of Craft, Layton, NJ, July 25 - 29, 2014.

I recently had the pleasure of teaching a 5 day workshop focusing on Warp Painting at Peters Valley School of Craft. Students learn the art of warp painting using a variety of weave structures combined with painting with dyes, watercolors, and other mediums. They focused on the development of personal images, color, and woven pattern resulting in the creation of several woven paintings.

No visit to Peters Valley is complete without viewing Dingmans Falls just a few miles away from the school's campus.
