Week 2: Collage (April 16th)
Using the dyed materials, fabrics, and additional elements, dive into the world of collage-making. Explore techniques to build depth and texture, and craft compositions that captivate the eye.
Week 3: Embroidery (April 23rd)
Bring your collage to life with the finishing touches of machine and hand embroidery. Use the hand-dyed embroidery floss from Week 1 and experiment with free-motion stitching on a sewing machine (provided in class).
