Intro to Thread Painting with Lea McComas

Try this technique without committing to a major project. Participants will complete a series of small exercises to learn skills in isolation, and then combine them in more intricate compositions. We will begin with basic exercises for drawing, filling, & blending, before moving on to creating texture, contour, and depth. Skills learned in this workshop can be applied to a variety of pictorial and abstract projects. This workshop also includes information on threads, stabilizers, and needles. A $5 kit fee will be paid to the instructor at the workshop.

This workshop will be IN-PERSON only. No refunds available.
