Styrofoam Plate Printing with Sherrill Kahn

Learn More: http://ccpvideos.com/sku/SK1d In this companion clip to the DVD Workshop Acrylic Painting Pizzazz (not on the DVD itself), textile artist Sherrill Kahn prints colorful designs with acrylics and re-used styrofoam plates. The technique works on paper, fabric, and many other surfaces. For more techniques, watch the full DVD workshop.

Sponge, scrape, and stamp every ounce of color out of your acrylic paints with textile artist Sherrill Kahn. In this mixed media DVD workshop, youll discover textures that enliven any paper or fabric project, from collages to clothing. With no brushes or drawing skills required, beginners will feel welcome, and experienced artists will find quick and innovative ways to add color to collage.

Sherrill sponges down base colors at breakneck speed before helping you master a variety of painting tools. She layers opaques with craft sticks and scrapers, flows liquid colors into fabric, and adds metallic accents with an applicator tip.

She paints on cotton, card stock, interfacing, and more, and each surface produces equally striking results. She combines paper and fabric as she finishes the workshop with two complete collages.

This really got my juices flowing!!! where do I get the stryrofoam sheets? I do non-objective watercolors and I use stamps from linoleum I cut myself...but I think that styrofoam stuff would be wonderful to try...

@nvittoneward Sherrill recycles Styrofoam from supermarket packaging and take-out containers. Any thin sheet of Styrofoam will work. We hope you enjoy the plate printing technique!
