Rubbings: Sketchbook to Applique
£6.00
In this collection of four workshops Linda begins by demonstrating how to work from a source of inspiration to make a rubbing shape. Working with that motif, see how to compose in your sketchbook exploring borders and frames, before adding washes of colour. With your sketchbook work for reference further develop ideas into fabric using the same rubbing techniques and applique, before completing your piece with quilting.
Description
