Minimalistic Landscapes – Less is More Virtual Workshop

Let the fabric do the talking

Have you always wanted to make a landscape but just didn’t know where to start? Then this workshop is for you as Jen breaks the process down into manageable pieces to create a simple but magnificent landscape.

Begin with a photo, sketch, or let your imagination guide you. Simplify the image to its core elements using just a few lines. This reduction will serve as the foundation for your fabric landscape.

Translate your simplified lines into fabric pieces. Choose a variety of fabrics with varying textures and designs to represent different elements in the scene.

Let the fabric and stitching do the talking to create a simple dynamic landscape where less is more.

Workshop Features

• learn piecing techniques to add a sense of flow and dynamism to your landscape
• experiment with different angles and shapes to infuse energy into the composition
• learn how to layer the pieced sections with both stitched seams and raw edges to enhance depth and dimension – this technique adds a tactile quality and visually separates different elements in your landscape
• the final touch involves adding just the right amount of quilting whether by machine or by hand

This will be a 6 hour workshop via Zoom. The workshop information will be presented as a slideshow as well as live demos with lots of time to sew and ask questions.
