Class Description:

In this workshop, students will draw an original design, create a full-scale pattern on freezer paper, and assemble the forms by Appli-piecing, a technique that is part appliqué and part piecing. I will guide students in composing a simple or complex design, and encourage that the process is undertaken with openness and ease. Students will play with shape, scale and movement. We will also discuss creating a value study, and then choosing your palette. 

Supply List:

	•	100% cotton fabric, preferably solids LIGHT/MED/DARK VALUES FOR EACH COLOR (details below) Textured prints are welcome in this workshop. Fat quarter packs will also work well in this workshop.
	•	Sewing machine (Your sewing machine must play well with very fine thread.)
	•	Superior Threads MonoPoly™ Thread (Only this brand, and make sure it is the translucent version and not black.)

	•	Needles (Microtex Sharps #60/8 or #70/10) This is very important because you will be sewing with very fine thread.

	•	Liquid Stitch fabric glue or Elmers
	•	Old fashioned starch (Ironing spray, firm finish)
	•	Very sharp, very small scissors
	•	A #4 round paintbrush. (Natural bristles work best)
	•	A very small container with a lid. (An empty prescription bottle works well) 
	•	Sketchbook (for note taking, drawing etc.)
	•	Regular pencil w/eraser

*If you do not have a lot of fabric on hand, it’s more important that you have several different values of each color you will be using. You can create dynamic work using a very limited palette.
