WORKSHOP HAS CHANGED!
Workshop: "Holographics and Sublimation Paints"


Date:  October 20, 2023 
​Time:  10:00 - 2:00     
                       

Bring out the creative YOU!
Just back from teaching her latest round of classes at the Sewing and Quilting Expo, Libby has new items to teach and bring to our guild!
We will use her digital equipment to create a holographic vinyl on t-shirt or tote bag; then, we will use stencils and sublimation paints to create – a zipper bag and a card. See photos below! What fun! If you have a penchant to create, paint, imagine something new, come on and sign up for the class in October. Anyone can do this one. 
The fee is $49 which includes guild fee of $30 and the kit that is everything else you need. Please hurry to get registered so supplies can be ordered and prepared.
