You don’t need a background in art to create beautiful surface designs on paper and fabric. Join Courtney Cerruti as she leads you through a series of exercises from her book Playing with Surface Design: Modern Techniques for Painting, Stamping, Printing and More. In this three-part series, you will learn creative ways to play with paint, markers, and stamps, plus a simple form of printmaking called monoprinting. Combine all of these lessons to create layered, textural surfaces that can be used as cards, wrapping paper, fabric yardage and more.
