CLASS DESCRIPTION
Bring your curiosity to Janna Maria's Printing on Silk Scarf and T-shirt! In this class, children will begin by soaking, pounding, wrapping and squishing dried flowers, onion skins, dried avocado skins and frozen berries into long silk scarves. The scarves will be tied into bundles and then be dropped into jars to simmer while we move onto our second print project: printing
After this class, your child will bring home two uniquely beautiful items: a silk scarf for you and a T-shirt for themselves!
Hi, my name is Janna Maria Vallee. I am an artist and textile art educator originally from the west coast of Canada. Since 2008 I have been a textile art educator in a variety of settings, from elementary school after-school programs to visiting arts educator in colleges and universities. In 2013 I organized and developed the curriculum for, and taught a twelve-week textile arts after-school program for grades 3s and 4s at Lower Canada College in Montreal, Quebec. I am a Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate of Concordia University’s Fibres and Material Practices program, as well as Capilano University’s Textile Arts program.
