"Polar
Shadows" - Caela Conn Tyler
Caela is a nationally known teacher who will be coming to us from Denver,
Colorado. In addition to being a lovely lady, she is a wonderful teacher
and designer.
Polar Shadows, a frosty Norwegian scene, will present students
with opportunities to experience several approaches to canvaswork: traditional
canvaswork stitches, embroidery, exposed canvas patterns, and some unique
layering using tulle and silk organza. Overdyed and hand-dyed cottons
and silks, Burmilana, Accentuate, and iridescent beads offer significant
contrasts, yet result in an overall subtle composition.
Contrasting textures, subtle interacting hues and varied stitch techniques,
along with touches of glitz and glitter, will truly entice students while
remaining well within the realm of the intermediate proficiency level.
