with Janine Pope
People In Motion
10:am to 4:00pm
Following on from Machine Applique People 1, this workshop will focus on how you can
1. Take basic drawn figures and layer them into groups.
2. Draw people in motion, walking, doing activities, and profiles.
3. Write confidently with your sewing machine to add text and to personalise.
With the drawings, you can then appliqué and free machine embroider to create a more detailed and advanced image. We will also look at scale and, if time permits, adding colour with paint and/or coloured pencils.
It is important that you have done the first workshop, as there won't be time to learn the basic drawn figure as this workshop will be quite intense.
