Fish Eye

TUTOR: CECILIA KOPPMANN

In this project class, unlock a simple technique for a truly spectacular result!

Some optical effects rely on shape. In this class you will learn how to apply colour theory and perspective, to amplify them for an incredible FISH EYE effect!

The attributes of colour and its maximum use in perspective to achieve different effects will be discussed.

Cecilia will go through many examples that will help participants define their own design. She will also include a technique for joining quilted parts which will make quilting your piece easier.
