 HOME PORTRAIT WORKSHOP

Would you like to create a memory like no other?
I will take you through the steps of creating a portrait of your home just like the commissioned artworks that I am known for.
You will use your own ephemera and photographs, and transform them into a meaningful and special artwork. 
You’ll need high-resolution photos of the outside of your home and some details.
Awesome ephemera, be it hankies, upholstery fabric or wallpaper samples, a deed, a map of the neighborhood or a local park, a copy of the local paper, a photo of beloved people, a treasured recipe copy, pennant from a favorite team, a wrapper from a special treat, or a coaster from a fave restaurant. You get the idea!
You’ll spend three days transforming your ephemera and your photographs into a 12"x12” portrait. You will brainstorm, play, plot and envision. You will collage, thread paint and hand stitch. And I will guide you every step of the way.

Some techniques and skills you will learn:
  • How to create an enticing composition
  • Collage tips for unusual materials
  • Stitching paper, dryer sheets, photographs, and more!
  • Machine thread sketching
  • Hand stitching and basic embroidery
  • Photoshops tricks!
