One-of-a-Kind Trunk Show Coming to Town

The public is invited to an outstanding Trunk Show, when American fiber artist John Marshall brings textiles bearing designs created with his katazome work and more to Fine Line Creative Arts Center in St. Charles, on Friday, July 25, from 5:30 – 8:30 pm.

Marshall, who lives in California, is known internationally for using color and line to create unique one-of-a-kind art-to-wear. This textile artist accomplishes phenomenal patterns and colors using the traditional Japanese techniques of katazome (stencil dyeing) and tsutsugaki (cone drawing). 

One-of-a-kind items at the Trunk Show will range in price from $20 to $3000. MasterCard and Visa will be accepted.

Supplies will also be for sale, including fabric, dyes, DVDs, brushes, silk/hemp/gold yarns, Japanese shuttles, picks, and so on.

While in town, Marshall will teach a Guest Artist Workshop at Fine Line, open to anyone interested, from novice to seasoned textile artist. 

This workshop will be held Thursday through Saturday, July 24 – 26, 9 am – 4 pm each day. Register by calling Fine Line at 630-584-9443, or online at fineline.org.

Fine Line Creative Arts Center is a nonprofit art school offering adult classes and workshops in a range of fine arts. Two galleries are included on the Fine Line campus, featuring local to international artists.
