Julie Haddrick accomplished Visual Art, Design and Textiles Teacher is a practising artist and award winning Art Quilter. Julie has a wealth of knowledge to share, not just ‘how to do fun techniques for students to try, but great ideas and examples showing how to apply and integrate new media into your textiles practice. Many students play with colouring fabrics or papers and end up with muddy colours, messy prints, dull fabrics that are useful only for backgrounds. Julie creates “rich fabrics” for a purpose. Learn how and why, whilst you create some samples of your own. Try some fun achievable exercises.

Key ideas SUNPAINT, SKIES, MIXING & BLENDING COLOURS, TONE.

Often the right fabric can’t be found…. So make it. See how Julie creates fabulous fabrics for a variety of purposes and learn how to mix colours, blend and tone colours and create specific fabrics like textured backgrounds, garden foliage,  skies, sunsets, water, mountains, skin colour, faces.

Suitable for all skill levels.
