Prismatic
Flowers – Barbara Olson
Wednesday (October 8) and Thursday (October 9) 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Two day class - All levels - $130.00
Playing with color, texture, depth and
shading, students will manifest a small flower piece filled with light and
energy. Choosing from one of
Barbara’s flower drawings eliminate the drafting and allow students to go
right to designing with fabric. (This
class will be held at the Antler Inn & Suites).
- A wonderful
variety of multi colored shaded fabrics.
Batiks, hand dyed, painted or marbled fabric and some novelty
flowered fabrics. Solids
or calicos do not work.
- Decorative
threads that add texture. You
will need a variety of threads including rayon’s, metallic, decorative
cottons. Solid and variegated
colors to go with your flower color (thread work will be discussed and
demonstrated).
This is only a beginning, creating these
textual prismatic flowers are addictive.
