DESCRIPTION

Bring your painting or sewing skills to this fabric art quilt landscape class. Beginners are welcome even if you don't have sewing skills.

Students will dive in to our vast collection of textiles to 'paint' a spring landscape quilt. Using values and colours to represent the verdant colours of an emerging spring you will cut and piece together the elements of your landscape. The more detailed the better, think impressionist paintings. This is a great exercise for painters because it makes your choices more purposeful and encourages a palette of similar values to represent your subject.

The final step involves sewing down your landscape and mounting it on matte board.

Suitable for beginners, you will go home with the tools to continue your exploration of felting.
