Course Description

One of my earliest memories of my Grandma Jeanne was of her gathered with our family and stitching. She would be working on her needlepoint with her basket of threads next to her and conversation going on all around her.

Over the years I found my own style and creating while stitching. It has become one of the few arts that I can do while on a plane, sitting among others and while much is going on around me. It allows me to stop and start with ease and the repetitive stitches not only allow me to engage with others but to slowly create and find rest at the same time.

In Stitched Faces I will share some of my favorite techniques for getting a pattern onto fabric along with my favorite simple stitches to create almost anything. Join me as we create a small slow stitching book out of vintage French linen, create image transfers, lino prints, cyanotypes and more and then stitch a face start to finish. We will then take all of our fabric portrait transfers and create an easy to use “journal”.

Basic Supplies

These are the limited supplies that will be needed for this workshop. You do not need to buy the additional supplies to create beautiful work in this course.

Drill, Canvas, vintage French linens etc. as a fabric. Pick a fabric you already have or that is easily obtained. For a less expensive alternative to French linen I suggest a dropcloth. Wash it in hot to rinse off all of the chemicals and then cut up for the different projects.

Additional Supplies

These are the supplies that I use to show many different transfer techniques. Please do not buy these supplies until after you have watched the videos and you see what techniques you would want to include in your own work.

Golden Matte Medium Gel
Citra Solv
Tracing Paper
Transfer Artist Paper
Stencil
Charcoal Pencil
Mylar
X Acto
Lino Block and Cutting Tools
Block Printing Ink
Cyanotype Kit
We received many emails about the hoop stand Jeanne is using in the promo video. This was used for filming so you could see her stitching but it is not necessary for your own stitching. Here is the link, though, if you are interested...
