No painting experience necessary! Catherine will supply paints. The second Saturday you’ll be using your beautiful fabrics that you created and learn surface design making art cards. You'll create unique art cards using bits and pieces of fabrics. You'll collage fabrics to the  make playful compositions, glue onto card stock and do some basic stitching on the machine to add more detail.
