PICTURE A HOUSE
with Sylvia Naylor
All levels
In this fun one day class you will use the motif of a stylised house to make
a picture about 12” square using stitching and collage. In order to free the
creative spirit, the class will begin by creating some designs of houses
using torn papers. [This is very liberating]
Sylvia’s samples will show how she has abstracted a simple house both in
paper and fabric and thread. Stitching lines will be used both to hold down
the fabrics and to accentuate. These may be done in regular stitching or
free motion. Topics to be covered include use of colour and design.
Course requirements: a spirit of adventure,
a desire to step into the unknown.

grasses, leaves and flowers in free motion embroidery. Options for finishing your work of
art will be discussed. Sylvia is an encouraging instructor who wants you to develop your
creativity in a relaxed atmosphere.
