June was a busy month for me. I hosted two 2-day classes in the technical aspects of creating embroidered portraiture. All my classes are geared toward the skill-levels of the students who attend and all levels of experience are welcome.
Each class begins with drawing. Accuracy is the main consideration as we create likenesses of simple objects (never as simple as they at first seem to be) on through the duplication of human faces from photographs. Finished drawings are colored and transferred to fabric that students learn to adhere to wood canvas stretchers. Then we begin to stitch. As embroidery is a slow process, students will do most of the stitching at home but are free to contact me via phone or email with any questions they may have.
