'Making your Mark' is Mark Making Ideas, Examples and Fabric Surface Deisign Techniques

This creative eBook + Video Workshop from Claire Benn and Leslie Morgan explores the magic of using ‘everyday’ tools such as scrapers, rollers, squeeze bottles etc. to create individual, personal marks on cloth or paper. It is the seventh title in C2C’s practical ‘how-to’ series. With practice and imagination these tools are capable of producing imagery and marks that come from a very direct sense of the maker’s hand.

Let’s face it, the motivation to explore surface design usually comes from a desire to move away from using commercially produced fabric. Using the approaches described in this book will enable people to create very personal work; perfect backgrounds for additional imagery, stitch or embroidery – or ready to use for collage or piecing, or for garment and interiors yardage. The 52 pages contain clear step-by-step instructions accompanied by over 100 instructional and inspiring color images. Recipes for different media such as thickened dyes and discharge paste are included along with guidance on fabric paints and the use of resists. Leslie and Claire also cover how to change the value and consistency of the different media to suit the tool being used. The bonus video lessons provide 2 hours of ‘show and tell’ on using different tools. It’s the longest video tutorial to accompany any of the C2C books — a valuable asset as it’s just like being on a workshop with Claire & Leslie.

Each video segment has been digitally improved with remastered color and clarity. All can now be zoomed in using the flip book reading tool. Download the book PDF and print out the pages you want for use in your wet studio workbench. Making your Mark is a wonderful addition to the surface design workshops available from Claire Benn and Leslie Morgan.

Claire Benn & Leslie Morgan • About the Instructors

Claire Benn is an artist who works in mixed media: textiles, raw earth pigments, natural dyes, acrylic paint and thread. Her work is abstract, reductive, contemporary, quiet and very tactile; apparently simple yet engaged with a complexity of ideas and practices.

Leslie Morgan describes herself as ‘an embroiderer who makes Quilts’. From her workshop and teaching studio in the UK Leslie continues the tradition of excellence in surface design education, instruction and creation.
