Layered Portrait Technique with Leo Ransom



Enrollment not open yet:
Mark your calendars! Leo will be back this August to offer this class. Enrollment is not yet open, but we want to give you time to mark it on your calendar well in advance! Keep an eye on our weekly newsletter for updates!

The instructor will teach you the technique of creating a fabric portrait using multiple layers of fabric.  Fabrics will varigate from light to dark using 3 to 6 fabrics layered on top of each other.  This technique creates details that you don't pick up with the Silhouette Technique. As in the Silhouette class, we will talk a little about pattern making and how to take pics of subjects for portraits.  So come try your hand at creating a portraiture quilt.

Supply List:
Layered Technique

5-7 gradated fabrics from light to dark (fat quarters will work)
1 1/2 yards of Transweb, Heat N Bond Lite or Feather Lite
