WORKSHOP - LAYERED PORTRAITS
Description: |
Students in this class will learn the layered portrait technique. Amaze your friends and family! I will demonstrate how to manipulate photos and how to draw contour quilting lines, but for the one day class, I will create a custom pattern for each student based on a photo emailed to me in advance. If you have a selection of photos, you may email them all to me and I will help you choose, and then you will get a pattern in class. Anyone who does not send me a photo will have a choice of mine (Ben Franklin, Johnny Cash, Einstein, Elvis, whoever I feel like printing out at the time). You can request one you see on the PORTFOLIO page.
In class we will use these patterns to cut, fuse and quilt (at least learn how ) You will choose the size for your portrait, from 8x10 or 16x20. Class fee includes a custom pattern with multiple pattern pieces and instructions for creating patterns in photoshop and step by step handout. These are my students' self portraits, done by beginners! Or go wild with crazy prints as I did in my portrait of my grand daughters. See more on the PORTFOLIO page.
