In the art world most assemblages are free standing or are mounted on a wood base. They often include bits and pieces of broken items or personal relics that are brought together to tell a new story.
In this class, art quilter, Heather Thomas will show you how to build a three dimensional art assemblage on a quilted base with a sturdy layer of the heavy stabilizer, Timtex.
Heather will show you how to use quick and easy machine quilting to build a fabric base to support your found objects with. Then she will help you explore lots of different ways to attach a myriad of fun and unusual objects to the surface as you bring your own story to life including:
- Glues
- stitching with floss
- pin weaving
- caging with fine wire
- using brads
- Grommets
- and more
This is a wonderful technique that will allow you lots of creative freedom to create art quilts in a new way. In addition you will also receive a number of downloadable class resource documents to help with your next project.
MORE THAN VIDEO
In addition to the hands-on video instruction you’ll receive, this class provides you with some downloadable and helpful resources to print and keep, including a detailed Class Guide as a recap of the key points of the class instruction – you’ll find this very helpful as you decide which finishes to use, and create your finish shopping list. Also, you’ll get a Class Resources document that will give you information on the products you’ll see in the Class.
