Nancy Hershberger is an Art Quilter and instructor in rural Pennsylvania. She loves to create with fabric, thread and with a little bit of inks. In this 6-hour workshop the student will use his/her own photo to create a small landscape art quilt. We will study the details in our images to figure out how to interpret them using only fabric, fusible web and Tsukineko Inks. Fabric does all the heavy lifting to create the illusion of water, rock, sky and foliage, while inks enhance the look. Nancy shares how to use these tools in a fun and upbeat class, showing the student how easy it is to create a piece that only looks hard. See the supply list below.
