Historic Yellow Springs

Learn to paint with thread in this embroidery workshop. We'll use reference photos to create floral fiber art. We will start by discussing the possibilities of hand embroidery and look at examples of embroidery art, recent and historical as well as how embroidery can be a functional craft, fine art, or both!We will then make sketches of a chosen plant which we will then transfer to fabric. After a lunch break, we will begin stitching. We will explore how to embroider in a painterly way. Guidance will be provided throughout. 

Be prepared to leave with a "work in progress" that you can continue to work on at home. This is an intermediate class but welcomes beginners that already enjoy drawing at any level.
