Julie Higgins: Introduction to pet Portraiture
Location: St. Mark’s United Methodist Church <—-NOTE LOCATION
Date: Wednesday, November 13, 2024
Time: 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Cost: $40

Our own wonderful Julie Higgins will teach you her process for making pet portraits at a six hour workshop on November 13th.  Choose one of the pictures—either the cat or the dog—to learn her techniques.  After this fun day with your friends, you will know how to make a portrait at home with a picture of your own furry loved one.

Workshop attendees can choose to work on a Stella (dog) project or a Coraline (cat) project (below).  Julie will use Coraline to demonstrate the process as the workshop progresses.  

Cost: $40. This includes use of materials such as a pattern, glue stick, sharpie marker, and freezer paper.

Bring:

• paper scissors

• fabric scissors

• something to glue on. (Julie likes an old cutting mat)

• small iron and pad if you have one

• fabric in different values of the animals such as light grey, medium grey, dark grey. This is the same for brown and off whites. Fabric that depicts texture works better than solids. Bring what most consider ugly! It is what works. ;) Julie will bring some to share but it is not enough for everyone.

Register by November 7. After registration Brenda will contact you to choose a cat or dog pattern.

Workshop limited to 12 participants.

PLEASE NOTE THE LOCATION CHANGE.

Patterns will be printed on November 8.

Plan to bring your lunch. If there is enough interest, a group order will be facilitated but that is dependent on interest.

PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN WATER BOTTLE. We will not be supplying disposable water bottles for the workshop.

This workshop is initially open to members only.
