With Annick Akanni

Want to turn your clothes or fabric into art? In this fun beginner’s workshop, you’ll learn easy ways to paint directly onto fabric using fabric paints, acrylic paints, posca pens, fabric markers and other mix mediums.  Experiment with freehand painting, spray effects, outline techniques and even natural materials to create cool textures and patterns on different cotton fabric cloth.
