Whether made of ordinary material or fashioned from exquisite fabrics with hand-painted designs, they’re environmentally friendly, versatile, and easily adapted to hold odd or difficult shapes. The only requirement is that the cloth be square.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMake a personal furoshiki by joining local printmaker Theresa Haberkorn in this class. You’ll carve a simple image on a speedy carve block, then use it to create a pattern on a hemmed piece of blank cloth. Making the print block is easy. Theresa demonstrates basic carving techniques and covers important considerations for creating a successful pattern with a single image. She suggests focusing on simple forms for the print block – positive and negative space, types of repeats, and color choice are all considerations in deciding what to carve. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce you finish carving your print block, play around with the stamped image to make a pattern.

She’s talking about the art of creating texture by taking a rubbing – that is, placing blank paper over a raised or indented surface and rubbing it gently with a marking agent such as charcoal or chalk. Before you start thinking of kindergarten, know that rubbing is an \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehonest-to-goodness art technique. The fancy French name for it is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efrottage,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and it was used most famously by surrealist painter Max Ernst. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are two styles of rubbings. One is done over “found” texture and the other is done over “created” texture. After describing both, Janet starts the class out working with found textures. Think kitchen strainers, a woven basket, a carved panel, the grain on a piece of wood, and embossed leather book covers. Anything with a hard surface will do. The process couldn’t be simpler or, as Janet points out, more fun. Once you start looking for textures, you’ll start seeing them in unexpected places! “Created” rubbings are made from a simple textured plate, either bought or handmade. Janet makes her own plates from junk mail, postcards, and the cardboard from a cereal or cracker box. So easy! She teaches you how to make your own. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce you’re familiar with both found and created rubbings, start experimenting.

In truth, there’s nothing ordinary about what she creates. What is ordinary is what she uses: recycled and reclaimed objects, construction leftovers, discarded magazines, candle stubs, coffee grounds, natural materials, and even old paper clips. She loves to explore different media and will attempt to make art out of nearly anything. You can often find her in the Art Parts Creative Reuse store in Boulder, softly exclaiming to herself, “I could make art out of that!”. She enjoys the challenge of turning ordinary materials and cast-off items into objects of beauty. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMuch of Janet’s work involves a spiritual element. It’s no surprise, given that the goal of her own art making is to create a beautiful, harmonious, and peaceful environment. Woven throughout her work is a deep love for geometry and pattern. She’s made a lifetime study of art history around the world and has been influenced by works as diverse as ancient manuscripts, medieval architecture, American quilts, Australian aboriginal paintings, Byzantine mosaics, and the decorative traditions of India and the Middle East. Their patterns are a starting point and don’t necessarily result in a predetermined layout. For her, art making is about beginning and then finding out where the piece leads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTrue to her personal approach to art, Janet’s classes are fundamentally about exploring and experimenting. Rather than teaching students how to make a particular piece of art, she likes to demonstrate what can be done with a set of materials and then turn students loose to play with them. It’s both astonishing and instructive to see how different the results can be. Classes with her are delightful adventures in discovering the unexpected! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVisit her website: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.artoftheordinary.net\/\" title=\"artoftheordinary.net\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eartoftheordinary.net\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Two Hands Paperie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47589672452350,"sku":"ONLINE_TEXTURE_0419","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0534\/9831\/4948\/files\/Strickler_rub_S26_04.png?v=1766070706"}],"url":"https:\/\/twohandspaperie.mom\/collections\/class-printing\/visual-journaling.oembed","provider":"Two Hands Paperie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
