Multiple Images in a Landscape

November 3 - 9, 2013

5-Day Workshop

All Levels

Students will build up a landscape design that contains two or more landscape images. There are many ways to do this including one image with a change of value, colour or style, multiple images within one border, or a scene with close up images of some sections inserted. Basic design principles will be discussed with information provided on combining multiple images, then students will design their own wall hanging working from a photo, sketch or picture. Colour combinations will be discussed and students will work through a series of colour exercises.

Once the design is formalized, students will go on to construct the various sections of their quilt and finally put these sections together. The surface of the quilt can be decorated using machine applique and embroidery. Fabric painting techniques will be demonstrated and participants will be able to hand paint fabric for special areas Eg sky, sea etc.
