Side Trip to Marcia Derse

Marcia Derse lives close to where the Pacific Northwest Art School class is in Coupeville. So, today was a field trip to visit her studio and talk to her about her fabric designs. Her design sense and catalog of images is vast. And to hear her speak about the work is priceless. Thank you Marcia!
 

Visit to Marcia Derse

We ended our class today to visit Marcia Derse's studio on Whidbey Island, Washington to have an impromptu tour and lecture about how she designs her splendid art made fabric. It was such a very special look at her take on collage, mark making, and decisions on color pallet. A most gracious host. Thank you, Marcia!

Starting to Sort for West Coast

I've printed during the last two weeks, and now there are too any fabrics, and I have to sort what will travel with me to the Pacific Northwest Art School. I'll take those that show what you can do to make Glorious Prints. I'll be at the coast, then on to Textile Center in Eugene, Oregon after that.
