Bringing the joy of working with TEXTILE and Stitch at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning, April 15, 2023


 TEXTILE LANDSCAPES - A Day to Paint with Cloth
Bethany Garner, Instructor
9:00 am to 4 pm, Saturday April 15th
Activity Room, Level One
Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning
370 King Street West, just east of Sir John A Blvd.
Parking in the Upper Lot on King Street next to the Tett/Isabel Bader

Hoping you will join me and also the Kingston Fibre Artists Exhibition right next door in the Gallery on Level One.

Come spend a day working along with Beth as she guides you through the ease of cutting, stitching, and embellishing your collection of cloth pieces chosen for your artwork. Bringing the vision to life as a "Maker" is what this workshop is all about, and sharing time with like-minded artist friends in the classroom will get you started or support your love of the landscapes you love. Feel free to bring photos, or your own landscape cloth artworks to share.

We start at 9:00 am - and enjoy time together until 4 pm and we will be working on pieces that will finish about 12" square (includes adding cloth that equals a 2" border all around for framing if you like). Colour play is always good fun, so bring a palette that makes you happy!

Sewing machines are welcome...handwork encouraged.

While the Tett does not have a mask mandate in place, we invite you to feel comfortable wearing a mask to help support others. We do not provide food for the class, but the Juniper Cafe is just down the hall and welcomes students.
