Half Day Class:
“Embellishment Design”
With Heidi Zielinski
Stevensville, MT
This class is about the placement and composition of the embellishment layer of a fiber art design. It is not a how-to bead class, although I will offer some tips and hints for beading.
Learn how an art quilt can be enhanced with various forms of embellishment. Where do you start? How much is enough? What is the goal and how do you get there? Learn some design principles and how they can be applied to this final layer of your art quilt. We’ll talk about the different types of embellishment and how to choose what is right for the piece. Creating lines, adding texture and color, creating focal points and echoing motifs for good balance. Embellishing can be tricky so I will help you make it a little less mystery and a little more fun! Beads are only one way to add this detail to your work so this class will also cover embroidery, couching, charms, dangles, draping and found objects. Lots of examples will be shown and I’ll share hints and tips from my many years of embellishing art quilts.
