What's included in this course?
Start by immersing yourself in Julie's delicate and boundless world. She talks about her career so far, from how she discovered textiles to the publication of her various successful books, which have been translated into several languages. She also discusses contemporary art and fashion as her main sources of inspiration for her creations.
Hear a brief recap of the items and materials you need for your final project: a textile painting. As well as exploring types of thread and yarn, take a look at the basic stitches for starting off your piece. Julie shows you how and where to find ideas and inspiration, and with her as your guide, reflect on the relationship between the materials and the composition.
After this inspiring journey through the world of textile art, it's time to get to work! Start off with how to prepare the canvas on the frame before exploring the first technique of the course: weaving. See how to weave thick materials and achieve a unique and voluminous result.
Next, it's time to work with the punch needle, focusing on positioning the needle, the flat stitch, the seed stitch, and the final details. Then it's on to the embroidery! This technique allows you to include wooden beads and charms in your composition for yet more texture!
After seeing how to add the final details, Julie offers you some tips on conserving your painting and making sure it looks new for longer. It's time to bring this adventure to an end with your uniquely inimitable piece ready to share with whoever you choose!

Kurs bardzo ciekawy, przekazuje dużo wiedzy i praktycznych umiejętności, polecam serdecznie!
Weaving soothes her, just as her textile works are a comfort to us. With her characteristic softness, she likes to take the time to feel and touch the fibers. She has already published six books with Marabout, such as Ma déco #handmade or L'atelier Granny Square, in addition to running workshops and creating custom pieces.
