About the Workshop:
This virtual class at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor Candace Hicks.
In this online workshop students will create a cloth book that combines text and imagery. The workshop will principally focus on content development. We will look at examples of artists that use embroidery and how the technique relates to the content. Like quilters form the past, we will re-use fabrics that have already served a function and may have associated memories and history. Secondarily, we will cover techniques for transferring a design, basic stitches, and tips for designing layout. No prior sewing or embroidery experience is necessary.
