Workshops

Inspired by the beautiful Impressionist paintings of Giverny by Claude Monet this is the seventh in the Artist’s series of kimonos following the previous kimonos: The Wright Kimono, Mackintosh Rose Kimono, Klimt Kimono, O’Keeffe Kimono, Starry Starry Night Kimono, and Kubota Kimono. This kimono feature the bridge at Giverny, France along with the peaceful lily pad pond and gardens that Monet painted many times. The use of painterly stitches for this beautiful landscape will be created with emphasis on shading with the bridge to be done in a Raised Stem Stitch technique. Using many different silks, with some added metallics for highlights will bring the light to this rendition of Monet’s work. This intermediate level design will be stitched on 18ct. white Mono canvas. The design can be done as the original, a kimono, or as a rectangle (with some design changes by student). Design size is approximately 8” x 11 ½”.
