Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this craft class:

We’re excited to host Melissa Averinos at Gotham Quilts for the first time! Making Faces is Melissa’s signature class, which she has taught at big shows like Quiltcon.

This workshop is an exploration in raw edge appliqué faces, and includes:
  • a comprehensive lesson on drawing and understanding facial features
  • instruction and inspiration for collaging the face with fabric
  • adding shading and highlights to the face through selection of fabrics
  • adhesive options
  • discussion about stabilizers
  • examples and inspiration for ways to stitch and finish the collage
  • the benefits of working in multiples
Time is allowed for sharing work and lots of personal attention. This is a non-sewing class.

Required Supplies (all available to purchase on location, except the pencil/glue stick/paper):
  • fabric scissors
  • washable glue stick
  • regular pencil
  • 20 sheets of plain white printer paper, held together with a clip or in a folder
  • base fabric: 3 fat quarters of quilting cotton. These will be the fabric we build the faces onto, and will mostly be covered up so probably don’t bring your Precious for this! These can be in any colors you like, but should be solids and/or very small scale prints with low contrast and/or tonal prints with low contrast and/or ‘blender’ fabrics**
  • collage fabrics: assorted scraps. as above, these should be low-contrast, small scale prints or solids*** Include lights, mediums and darks. If you aren’t a scrap saver, don’t worry! just bring some fat quarters and borrow from the community scraps. As with the base fabrics, these do not need to be realistic portrait type colors.
  • community scraps: a handful or more of scraps that you are willing to share (small scale,
  • tonal or solid)
  • optional items: I don’t usually use these, but some students have found small detail scissors and tweezers useful in class.
The idea here is that we don‘t want to be distracted by large, busy or contrasting prints. I recommend bringing a light, a medium and a dark fat quarter. These do not need to be realistic portrait type colors. It’s better if they aren’t!

Gotham Quilts

Gotham Quilts was born out of the friendship of two fabric nerds in Manhattan.

We met years ago in one of Andrea’s quilting classes, when Ivete fell so hard for quilting she finished three quilts during a 6-week class!

We’ve been great friends ever since, and always talked about the store we thought...
