Layered Portrait Technique with Leo Ransom
Ever wanted to turn a favorite photo into fabric art? Join Leo Ransom and learn the fascinating technique of creating fabric portraits using multiple layers of fabric. By carefully layering 3 to 6 fabrics from light to dark, you'll create depth, shading, and remarkable detail that goes far beyond what can be achieved with a traditional silhouette portrait.
Along the way, Leo will share tips on pattern creation and photographing subjects for portrait quilts. Whether you're interested in capturing a beloved family member, pet, or special memory, this class will open the door to an entirely new way of telling stories with fabric. Come discover the art of portraiture quilting!
