July 30-August 3, 2008 Transparent Fabric Collage Christine Zoller
Workshop description: Participants in this workshop will have an opportunity to work with transparent fabrics and experiment with all the wonderful layering of imagery which is possible. Students will begin with dying and printing on silk organza. We will use low immersion dye techniques, resist dying, direct application, screen-printing and discharge to color and pattern the cloth. Next, these fabrics along with other types of transparent and non-transparent fabrics will be used to create collages, where we will explore the elements of successful composition including shape, color, balance, and scale. Construction methods will include appliqué; reverse appliqué as well as fusing. A final layer of stitching, beading and embroidery will be added to enhance the work with line, shading, surface texture and a further illusion of depth. Instructor bio: Christine Zoller was born in Queens, New York in 1956 and grew up with a love of textiles. She spent her early years in a yarn store managed by her best friend’s mom and it was here that she learned to knit, crochet, sew and embroider. Christine spent her beginning career in banking doing real estate construction loan lending for 14 years. This business background has served her well in her own business dealings and she continues to educate her students in different business practices. At the age of 30, she decided to pursue her lifelong interest in textiles by earning her Bachelors of Science degree in textile design from Buffalo State College in Buffalo, New York in 1991. This led to obtaining a Masters of Fine Arts in textile design from The University of Georgia in Athens, GA in 1995. It was in graduate school that Christine knew she loved to teach and is presently an Associate Professor and Textile Area Coordinator at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. Christine has taught at other universities and has conducted numerous workshops at many institutions including: Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts (Tennessee), Penland School of Crafts, (North Carolina), The Birmingham Museum of Art (Alabama), and the Quilt Surface Design Symposium (Ohio). Her work has been exhibited internationally and throughout the United States and can be seen in such publications as Surface Design Journal and the Fiberarts Design Books Five and Six.
