Blended Fabric Collages

All Day Workshop

Using tiny pieces of fabric, about ½” in size, each student will create blended fabric collages to take home and frame.

Designing will focus on value to create depth and texture. Fabric paints are used to enhance trees. Finished size of projects are 4.5″ X 6.5″ and are glued to an 8″ X 10″ mat board to be framed later by the student.

A $15 supplies fee required.
