PORTRAIT CLASS | every Wednesday | Turn your favorite photo into embroidery art | Berlin, Treptow

Portrait Class: Learn how to turn your favourite photo into embroidery, learn how to embroider human / pet portraits.

Location: Atelier Kreativ, Defreggerstr 3, 12435 Berlin

Every Wednesday, starting from 19th of March.

Time: 18.30h - 20.30h

You will probably need 4-5 sessions to finish the portrait. But you can join for as many sessions you want and continue working independently.

You will learn how to turn your favourite photo into embroidery art. I made my first portrait 10 years ago, and it's finally time to teach you how to make one <3

We will start by transferring your favourite photo on a fabric and then we will analyse each part of it together. I will guide you through the whole process and advise you which technique fits to each subject best, as well to any other additional object you want to present. There is no restriction in the creative possibilities you want to include in this art piece.

Dimensions of the piece (you can decide to work on):
1. Miniature portrait (square 10x10cm or round 9cm)
2. Mid size portrait (square 15x15cm or round 14cm)

After you purchase the ticket for this course you can think about which photo you want to embroider. Then you can send me an email with your Order Number and we will start from there.

If there is a need for an extra session or change of a day for some of the classes I am open to it. We are flexible and we will adapt to any changes or needs to the participants.

Embroidery is a meditative technique. Let's spend Wednesday evenings together, embracing our creativity by learning how to create very special and unique embroidered artworks as gifts for you and your dear ones.

All materials provided: embroidery hoops, fabrics, needles, embroidery threads, inspiration, knowledge, nice and wholesome time.

This course will be taught in English and is designed for all skill levels - from embroidery beginners to seasoned stitchers. No previous knowledge or skills are necessary! Everybody's welcomed.
