Description:
The Jacksonville Center for the Arts offers the class "Art Quilts: The Embellished Landscape" especially for Mother's Day. The class will meet on both Saturday, May 11th and Sunday, May 12th. The class will meet from 10 am - 5 pm each day.

Learn to construct a landscape using atmospheric perspective to create a sense of depth and realism. Students will first build their landscape and can make a decorative shaped border as a frame, with breaks in the borders to suggest another layer of depth and dimension. The landscape can be embellished with thread work, machine needle lace, sheers, and textured fabrics. Designs for one or more landscapes will be provided, however students will have freedom to exercise as much creativity as they like.

This is a machine class, so you should feel comfortable with your sewing machine prior to attending. Some free motion sewing experience may be helpful but is not essential.

Minimum Age: Responsible Young Adult
Supplies: Visit the class website, http://jacksonvillecenter.org/2010-classes/05-may/
