Retro Rags Workshop: Funky Fabric Books

Join mixed media artist Traci Bautista for a live, day long class in creative collage books at the Art & Soul Retreat in Monterey, California.

The process is fun and fast, perfect for students of all ages. You'll dye a variety of cloth and paper, make custom stamps and stencils, transfer images, assemble collage covers, stitch in designs, draw artistic doodles, and assemble pages with a decorative latch-hook spine.

Traci shows you more ways to color and collage fabric and paper than you can imagine. She dots, dabs, brushes, mushes, inks, scrapes, rolls, crushes, stamps, stencils, squishes, pushes, presses, draws, punches, irons, transfers, writes, glues, sponges, pokes, collages, photocopies, sews, cuts, punches, and well, you get the point.

Traci Bautista finds new ways to use everyday materials; she's an inspirational creative dynamo.
