All Materials Included
During my time as a textile artist and tutor I have made some large 3D coral reefs, these are from my own observations as a keen scuba diver. I thought it would be nice to break some of these down in to one day classes and I have chosen a couple of my favourites. These can be wired and used in 3D pieces or shadow mounted on to foam board as stand alone specimens. For the Gorgonian you will be working on water soluble and using detailed machine embroidery – great practice and the fan coral is on Lutradur, then the fun starts like all my classes, the painterly bit.
Includes homemade lunch and refreshments
