What Viewers Say:
Fantastic workshop! Amazing and filled with plenty of variety! Talk about mixed media! I didn't want this video to end. I recommend this DVD to everyone. I have quite a collection of art instruction and this is definitely in my top 10. My daughter, who is not an artist, walked in the room while I was viewing it. She didn't get far and sat down to watch the WHOLE video with me. Traci is so talented and creative. I must add that her look and style is as unique as her artwork!!! Her personality is just charming and sweet. She's also a great teacher. Shares her gift so beautifully. Her book is just as terrific. My age is going to show now, but I must say it... "Traci Bautista is WAY COOL." I have watched it over and over, and pick up something new each time.

Better than any movies I own
I just received 3 of your videos - Claudine, Lesley, and Traci and I haven't gotten a thing done now for 2 weeks. Every minute I want to watch the videos - they are better than any movies I own. I have learned so much and just want you to know what a great job you did with these women and their art. Thanks again. I want to order a couple more collage artist tapes when I get some more money.

class to learn free-flowing collage techniques and create a funky fabric book. Traci's carefree style and bold design sense come to life as she demonstrates colorful print making, whimsical doodling and wild stitching. You'll find all the excitement of her day-long workshop packed into this dynamic, feature-length video.
Traci's fabric books begin with fast-paced, spontaneous printing. Using her patented 2-ply paper towel method, she quickly makes dozens of designs. She digs through a treasure chest of stamps, paints, stencils and inks and shares quirky techniques for working with each. She encourages you to work fast and let your pigments flow. In a matter of minutes, you'll have all the material you need to build your collage.
Traci gets the most from materials, and nothing is off limits. She'll try anything once, from children's art supplies to items from the garden aisle. She prides herself on personal touches like hand-carved stamps and homemade stencils. She integrates her own previous designs into her current work, and she explains how to copy and archive your designs for later use.
In the second half of the workshop, Traci demonstrates her doodling techniques on cloth and paper. She draws cute characters with a variety of markers and highlights them with colored pencil and glitter. She then sews flowers, hearts and other wild patterns into a fabric cover. She binds the books with a bit of cloth, a few lengths of waxed linen and a decorative, latch-hooked spine.
At the end of the class, you'll have a completed book and enough prints to make three more. More importantly, you'll have the techniques and inspiration to take your collage art to a new level. Enter Traci Bautista's classroom and enjoy the ride in the live workshop
