Monique demonstrates the technique of cloth painting/printing.
This month I visited the studio of Monique Laramée. I actually
came to take a class in cloth painting. This technique is really a fun
way to make art. It uses special textile inks and stamps that you carve
by yourself, in order to create repeat patterns.
Monique expertly demonstrated how to do it and let me try my hand at
it. I just loved it!

Monique makes cloth hangings (shown behind Monique on her easel),
tablecloths, place mats, napkins and even an apron.

I
also had a sneak preview of Monique’s
new paintings.
This is an interesting studio to visit during Route des Arts
2004.
