Painting in Fiber

About this event

Registration required. This class is intended for adults. Learn how to make a fiber-based landscape “painting”! Inspired by the theme of “Transparent,” this workshop explores how layering sheer and semi-transparent materials can build color, depth, and atmosphere. Anastasia shares her unique fiber-based collage technique, guiding you through using translucent papers and fabrics to visually mix colors and create stunning, layered landscapes. Materials will be provided, but you are encouraged to bring in your own scraps to incorporate into your art (think a piece of clothing that’s unraveling, your favorite candy wrapper, buttons, lace, ribbons, etc.). Bring along a reference photo or painting you would like to work from — landscapes are the easiest to translate into fiber. Anastasia will have some images on hand to work from. Anastasia Zielinski is a multidisciplinary visual artist and arts educator. Her practice centers around painting, fiber-based collage, and installation art. She received her BFA with a minor in art history from Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, NY). Ms. Zielinski has shown her work nationally and internationally, and has created site-specific installations for INSCAPE Arts, Shunpike's Storefront Seattle, Spaceworks Tacoma, and CLAVO. Recent residencies include Casa Lü and eeeee (Mexico City, MX). Anastasia currently lives and works in Central Oregon. Questions? Contact emilyc@deschuteslibrary.org
