Anyone who has spent time making art knows that once you’ve given yourself permission to play with the process, we all develop what will become our own intuitive process. Canvas Weaving is that process for me. It starts with color and movement, then I layer in texture in a way that speaks to what the canvas tells me we want to say.
Around 2018 I began painting and developed a love for clay based paint, and in 2019 I developed a love for weaving. In 2020 I started experimenting with ways to combine these two methods, and I fell in love with the layers and textures of this style.
I love to play with color, and create pieces that will bring together eclectic spaces with an unexpected element.
Also, I’m an extrovert, and I love to create with a group. That has developed into workshops and day camps to help others develop their own creative flow!
In-Person Canvas Weaving Workshop
June 6th
10am - 4pm
Join me in Spartanburg, SC for a day full of creative exploration and learn how to create your own blended medium art.
The Day will begin with paint, then we will break for lunch while our canvases dry and come back to layer on our woven elements and finish the pieces for display.
Participants will leave the workshop with a new set of skills and a 12x12 Wrapped Canvas Artwork of their creation.
ReMADE Wedding Dress Art
I’m a sucker for a good love story, but mine is my favorite. Not because it’s provocative or especially remarkable, but because it is ours. I can imagine you probably feel the same way!
There was a time when Wedding Dresses were passed down through the generations with frequency, but the majority of brides want their own dresses these days. I remember when the “trash the dress” trend was popular. It made my heart hurt. I never had visions of a daughter walking down the aisle in my wedding dress, but I did want to turn my gown into special pieces that could be enjoyed.
Shortly after our 10 year wedding anniversary I finally made it happen!
Wedding Dresses can be repurposed in so many ways. If you are interested in having yours turned into wall art, I’d love to work with you!
Commissions
All Canvas Weaving Commissions, including ReMADE Dress Art, start at $145 for pieces that measure up to 12x12. Current pricing for larger sizes is calculated at $0.85 per square inch.
You can provide sentimental materials for your piece in order to tell a story that is special for you. When a client opts to provide materials (clothing, letters, jewelry, etc) we will actually plan a 30 minute meeting to ensure that I have a full understanding of the story we are telling with your piece and the sections of fabric that you would like to have most prominent in your finished piece.
The standard timeline for completing a piece is 2-3 weeks, but may vary depending on the retail season, current works in progress and the size of the piece. To start a conversation about your commission, simply e-mail me at info@danielleskaminski.com.
Finished pieces are available locally at Reinvintage Warehouse, or SHOP HERE.
