July 26th - Lazy Day's of Summer

Heidi England's "Valentine's Day (Cushion)" from the "All Year Ottoman", is a nice addition to our lazy days of summer. This is a casual project, as it is in a bohemian style and your stroke work need not to look perfect. There is minimal colour mixing involved as we will be using Jo Sonja's Background Colours to paint the final project. Textile Medium will also be used.
I would advise beginners to attend some stoke work sessions before class to gain basic understanding of the art form. Introduction to stroke work tuition £20 per day will be held July 12th -13th giving you time to practice.

Final Project July 26th 9:30 - 5:00 Tuition £20.
Pillow for the Project is £3.50
1/4 Oval Glaze or Filbert is the only brush you will need.
Tea and coffee provided, bring a packed lunch.
This class is at a special price.

May- Soft Textile Painting

Springy, "Green," and Canvas All Over
