Photo to Fabric: Pet Portraits with Fran

Come and make a vibrant portrait of your best animal pal or fur baby so you can stare at their cute face on your wall (or tote bag)! We'll start by learning how to print images on to fabric using transfer paper, and get your critter on to the canvas. Then we'll work over it with different decoration techniques to make it really stand out. This mixed media workshop will explore lots of creative techniques such as stitching, printmaking and painting! You'll walk away with a very unique portrait of your best furry friend. Choose from canvas squares suitable for framing or a tote bag! What will we cover?
