Deb Deaton: Cheesecloth Art, March 29 – 30, 2025
Members:
$238.50
Non-Members:
$265
Imagine using nothing but cheese cloth and thread to create a masterpiece of your own. This class will teach you how to do just that. Layering different kinds of cheesecloth, you will create an art piece that is fun, unique, and easy! We will be using Dura-Lar (a polyester film that’s a mix between Mylar and Acetate) to create your portrait on. It’s truly magic and I will demonstrate the many uses of this amazing product. Two sheets will be included in your kit. Your kit will include the Dura-lar, pattern and all the cheesecloth needed to complete your project with plenty left over. You will be leaving all supplies and machines at the school so no worries to haul back and forth! Don’t forget your lunch! Hours: 9am – 4pm
A $25 Kit Fee is added to the final price of the workshop.

I received my art degree from the Colorado Art Institute in 1978. Since then, I have been creating art in many forms; oil, watercolor, pen and ink, charcoal, mixed media, and fiber art. I began quilting 30 years ago and although I loved to create beautiful quilts, my love of art moved me into Fiber Arts, leading me to launch DJ’s Fiber Arts (DJ is short for my first name, Debbie Jo). I am an award-winning fiber and multi-media artist, creating fiber art, painting my own fabric, embellishing using different fibers and media such as silk, wool, paints, beads and more.
Creating fiber art is a deeply personal journey for me, allowing me to merge my love for tactile experiences with my passion for self-expression. Each stitch I make serves as a vessel for my emotions, thoughts, and experiences, woven together into a unique tapestry of my inner world. Through the rhythmic motion of my hands, I find solace and meditation, as I immerse myself in the creative process, unraveling the threads of my imagination to bring forth something entirely new and meaningful. Fiber art is not just my craft; it reflects my soul, a medium through which I communicate with the world, leaving traces of my essence in every intricate detail.
Today, I am a full-time fiber artist who enjoys sharing my knowledge through the unique and exciting classes I offer throughout the country, introducing students to the amazing world of art.
