By layering and stitching colorful textile scraps, they will create a stylized self-portrait or a character study, focusing on composition, pattern and color theory. Loom Weaving: Focusing on rhythm and texture, students will learn the fundamentals of warp and weft. We will experiment with different yarn weights and fibers to create a unique wall hanging. Signature Stuffies: Students will bring a character to life from sketch to stitch.
