Course Information
- What is the best size of canvas/fabric for your project? We will try out various types of canvas including mono canvas in various sizes, double Penelope, silk gauze and even weave linen and aida.
- What is the optimum thread coverage for your chosen canvas size? We will trial different threads to find the best coverage for your chosen canvas.
- How do we know how much thread to order when working with canvas?
- Thread mixing - exploring the range of textures we can achieve.
- Colour mixing - looking at tonal palettes and colour blending.
- We will touch on colour theory and how this can impact in canvas work.
- Canvas shading - we will explore this subject with a number of different motifs/samples.
- Canvas stitches - we will look at how we form a number of different stitches. How do we compromise the varying stitches to create a hard edge to the form.
- How does thread blending affect the effect.
- How does colour placement affect the effect.
- How to choose stitches to create a visual language which makes sense within a design to emphasise perspective, form, texture and depth by manipulating stitch type, texture, scale, thread texture, colour and stitch placement.
You can explore many more stitches on the RSN Stitch Bank.
