Advanced Thread Sketching Enhanced with Acrylic Paint, Fiber Art
Karis Hess
Jan 12 & 14, and Jan 19 & 21, 2027
Tues & Thurs, 1:30 pm-4:30 pm
Members $160, Nonmembers $185
Take your thread sketching practice to the next level by introducing acrylic paint as an expressive partner to your stitching. In this four-session workshop, students will work from a personal photograph to create a richly detailed, painted textile artwork that combines the linear quality of thread sketching with the color, depth, and atmosphere that only paint can provide. Skills covered include selecting and transferring a photograph onto fabric, building a thread-sketched rendering, and enhancing your work with acrylic paint to create dimension, shadow, and luminosity.
Previous experience with free-motion embroidery or thread sketching is recommended. Students will leave with a completed mixed-media textile artwork — and a technique that will permanently change the way they think about both painting and stitching.
Some experience required. Space is limited.
