Description

During this 3-day workshop with Melissa Sobotka, students will reproduce the still life "Rembrandt's Repast" using Melissa's award winning techniques for transforming a photograph into a masterpiece of Fiber Art.

This is a technique class where you will learn to see as an artist does, select appropriate fabrics, build a pictorial quilt from an image using a raw edge applique method. You will then learn to enhance your work by adding depth, dimension and detail with inks.
