In choosing your images for producing digital fabrics for this class, bear in mind that we will want imagery that we will cut, piece or fuse, and work with freely. For our purposes here, that perfect photo of a baby's face, for instance, is less conducive to free, interesting design work than images that have rich texture, color, and composition -- images that you will be able to fracture and recompose. One of the less interesting things to do with digital fabric is to print it out, border it, and simply have a nice photo on fabric.
If your interest is in creating the best files for printing on fabric you can choose to stay with Kerby for the entire class. If your interest is in using your own digital fabric to design quilts, you can stay with Lura for the entire class. Some couples may choose to divide their time in this way.
This is a process class and we want students to pursue those processes that interest them the most. Thus, both instructors will be available to help you pursue the direction you want to go in the class after the basics of "Digital Boot Camp."
