About the Artist:
I have always been interested in a variety of arts. I have been airbrushing since 1993, screenprinting & embroidering since 1997, and quilting since 1999. I have to admit that since discovering fiber arts, I have had a hard time focusing on other artwork. I just feel that I have to make "stuff" every day. That may take the form of quilting, or dyeing fabric or fibers, knitting some socks or mittens, digitizing patterns, or designing new patterns. I just have to make something every day.
My business Digi-Tech ( www.digitechpatterns.com) has grown considerably since I started out.
I now offer complete design services, screenprinting & embroidery for corporate & institutions, as well as individuals. I also provide custom longarm quilting services & over the last year I have added the Digi-Tech website where we provide downloadable quilting & embroidery patterns for computerized & handguided quilting machines, as well as hand quilters, along with machine embroidery formats available on many of the designs. My husband & I provide custom digitizing services for both quilting & embroidery designs. I have also begun to add many of the dyeing & dye-painting products that I use in class/workshops to the website along with my hand dyed fabrics, yarns, & rovings.
Thank you for taking the time to look. Jessica

Two Day Workshop at Jessica's Beginning & Intermediate Dyeing & Intro to Airbrushing:
Demo & hands-on instruction opportunities with airbrushing combined with 2 days of dye painting instruction & hands-on projects.
Airbrush will have "sign up" times after initial instruction depending on amount of student interest. Each student is guarenteed at least 3 hours of hands on airbrush time, more if you choose to stay & play after regular class hours. Students will have access to studio for dye painting from 8:00am to 11:00pm both class days.
Two Day Workshop at Jessica's Studio "All out Quilting & Pattern Design" - Tell all class on Jessica's
style of quilting, along with Pattern Design/Drawing lessons. Students will learn both pattern design & drawing on paper in traditional methods, as well as an introduction to pattern design using computer software. This is a class that is focused on pattern design, not on the technical skills required to produce patterns that will run on computerized quilting or embroidery systems, although some could possibly work for that also. Students will have access to studio for drawing & design from 8:00am-11pm on class days.
