Mixed Media Sketchbooks for Textile Artists Who Think They Can’t Draw

Join Helen O’Hara for some hints, tips and even cheats for working in sketchbooks. Pick up some easy guidelines for terrified drawers and learn how to change simple photographs into your own original designs for textile art works. We will cover why you think you can’t draw, what the point of drawing is and exercises to improve your drawing. We’ll then move onto how to evolve your drawings into unique designs using collage, printing and mixed media of all kinds. Helen will also bring along her sketchbooks and will take requests to show techniques.
