OVERSIZED FLOWER POWER
Closed
Learn
easy techniques for producing realistic floral quilts with oversized
images. Participants will use an original 20” x 24” flower
drawing provided by the instructor and translate it into fabric using
contemporary, fast and fusible appliqué methods, innovative art
techniques and without turning an edge. Learn color theory, value and
how to integrate non-cotton fabrics into the composition. There will
also be a color and fabric painting demonstration that leads to students
painting on their own sampler with teacher-provided supplies. Participants
may bring in 1-3 flower photographs for the instructor’s design
suggestions.
