TEXTILE LANDSCAPES


Paint a landscape with fabrics. Using your reference photos and imagination you will be guided through creating a unique landscape using scraps of fabrics, yarns, and hand embroidery stitches. You will use different methods for adhering fabrics together, a variety of embroidery stitches. We will discuss landscape design methods. We will have a relaxing time stitching together and creating your own small landscape wall hanging. Ideally students know how to use a needle and thread before enrolling in this class.


Time: 10am - 4pm (2 day class– consecutive Saturdays on April 4 and April 11)


All materials will be provided. Optionally:  If you would like, bring reference photos of a landscape you would like to make. There will be enough for everyone, but if you have your own tools you want to use (scissors, embroidery needles, thimble) please bring them along. If you have a special fabric you want to incorporate, bring that too.

ABOUT ROBERTA


Roberta Bell is a textile-focused mixed media artist. With a fantastical and hopeful perspective, she explores landscapes she treasures, which are in crisis due to climate change and other human-generated pressures. Using primarily reclaimed materials, she gives ‘second life’ to the beauty still living in them.


In her work she brings together both sides of the female and male-dominated forms of craft. Fabric and fiber are foundational in her work as she has used both since childhood, learning from her artistic mother, who taught her to sew, quilt, crochet, embroider, dye fabrics and weave. The love of wood comes from her father, who taught her and generations of teens the finer details of woodworking. She often uses this skill to display her work in old window frames or reclaimed wood pieces.
