Embellishment: a decorative detail or feature added to something to make it more attractive.
This workshop is all about experimentation and creative play. Work on a series of embellished exercises and samplers that can be added to all kinds of artworks including quilts, mixed media, handmade books, felt and clothing (to name a few).
Each day includes time for directed exercises and samplers; covering techniques such as cords, tassels, braids, fringes, motifs, beading, fabric beads, stitching as decoration, textural effects and a variety of manipulation techniques using both hand and machine stitch.
We will discuss how you can effectively add these and other elements into your own artwork for future use. You will learn new techniques, design and colour elements and discover unexpected combinations and constraints.
Increase your creative juices and discover new directions in how embellishment can transform your work. This workshop promises to be an exciting challenge for your creative self, and it will be fun! Students will need to have experience with general sewing and know their sewing machine.
No materials fee.
