Description
Having chosen your design your first day will be spent outlining your motifs onto your background fabric – the second day you will begin to look at colour and appropriate metallic and opaque paints alongside preparing applique pieces of fabric, building up a highly textural wall hanging. Fabrics such as metallic faux leathers, silks and velvets alongside commercially printed cottons will all have a place in your completed wall hanging.
I will have plenty of fabrics in the studio for you to choose from – and we can make time for you to choose these prior to your first day.
There will be several weeks in-between each session to allow for progression as it is a big project with plenty of scope for loads of machine stitch and embellishment !
