A 4-session workshop where you will learn to make your own photo-realistic portraits out of fabric by using my Portrait Method!
About this Event

Do you want to make people or pets or anything out of fabric? Let me show you how! Over 20 years ago I created a method that turns photographs into fabric portraits and I was recognized as being one of the first artists creating Portrait Quilts! Now, it is my passion to share this method - step by step in this intensive workshop that happens twice a year!

This workshop will take place over the course of 2 weeks and will have 4 meeting times for live classes.

Friday, December 6th - 6pm - 9pm EST

Saturday, December 7th - 12pm - 3pm EST

Sunday, December 8th - 12pm - 3pm EST

Saturday, Deccember 14th - 12pm - 2pm EST

Every class we will spend time looking at a different step of the Portrait Method and practicing different elements. You will learn how to create sewable templates by hand and will have a finished fabric portrait by the end of our time together!
