ART CLASS

Paint a landscape with fabrics. Using your reference photos and imagination you will be guided through creating a unique landscape using scraps of fabrics, yarns, and hand embroidery stitches. You will use different methods for adhering fabrics together, a variety of embroidery stitches. We will discuss landscape design methods. We will have a relaxing time stitching together and creating your own small landscape wall hanging. Ideally students know how to use a needle and thread before enrolling in this class.

 Time: 10am - 4pm (2 day class– consecutive Saturdays on April 4 and April 11)

All materials will be provided. Optionally: If you would like, bring reference photos of a landscape you would like to make. There will be enough for everyone, but if you have your own tools you want to use (scissors, embroidery needles, thimble) please bring them along. If you have a special fabric you want to incorporate, bring that, too.
