Create a Seascape using Recycled Fabrics
Sat March 23 @ 10:30 am - 4:00 pm
£85.00You will learn new skills to help create a seascape using recycled fabrics.
Throughout the day you will be introduced to blending and layering techniques to build up the seascape based on a given image to work from. You will be guided through each step with a range of demos, individual practical work and personal feedback. We will discuss use of pattern to add perspective and composition to draw the eye into the artwork.
At the end of the day you will have a finished or near finished piece to take home where you can embellish and add those finishing touches. We will also discuss how to embellish and how to present you work to hang on the wall.

About our tutor
I am a mixed media and textile artist living in the Howardian Hills where I take much of my inspiration as well as the North of England. I work mainly in recycled fabrics and love to depict the local landscapes, seascapes and woodlands. I see the landscape in patterns and use this to add perspective to my work as well as layering and blending techniques.
I exhibit and teach in a number of locations and took part in Landscape Artist of the Year 2022 on Sky Arts.
