Introduction by Angie:-
Hi! I’m Angie Hall Anderson, an abstract fiber artist and graphic designer living in New York City. I’ve been doing design professionally for 13 years, but it wasn’t until I started experimenting with abstract embroidery in late 2020 that I truly felt CREATIVE. My design work has usually been about solving“problems” for other people – a billboard to sell concert tickets, an infographic for a non-profit, etc. It never felt PERSONAL and certainly neverlooked like what was bouncing around in my own brain. When I started doing abstract embroidery, I finally felt like I was making things exactly the way I wanted to, inspired by the things that light me up. As a pop culture hyperfixator, fan girl,and design junkie, I love the experience of turning images, sounds, stories, and experiences into abstract art that is exciting to make and fascinating to look at.
What You Will Learn in this Online Interactive Workshop:-
In this class, you will learn how to identify your inspiration, zero in on your own unique ideas, and turn those ideas into apiece of abstract embroidery. You’ll learn to establish your big picture vision, select colors and materials,and make many small decisions that build on one another to create a composition you love. You’ll learn how to use design principles to create visual interest and texture and you will practice working through your mistakes, understanding that they are often the catalysts to something great. You’ll enjoy both the physical experience of stitching and the thrill that comes with seeing what you can make.
