The Four Seasons Quaternion~
A Study of 17th c Embroidered Beasts
Would you like to stitch these wee beasties for yourself????
This 8-month fully kitted web-based class at Diamond K Folk Art Online Academy takes the student on a journey of exploration into 17th century embroidered animals. Each 4"x4" season is viewed within an opulent cartouche of looped glass beads and silk-wrapped plate purls, which the students will make themselves. There is one beast for each season, inspired by Ann Bradstreet's 1650 poem, The Four Seasons of the Year.
Sweet Spring depicts a cheerful leopard relaxing upon fertile green hillocks.....
Burning Summer is represented by a stately Bactrian camel......
. Eden's Autumn depicts the ever-popular 17th c noble Lion.....
Snowie Winter shows a beautiful 17th century winter landscape
I only plan to run this fully kitted class once due to the difficulty I have had acquiring the materials for it. This class will be limited to 30 students, half of which have already filled from the newsletter sneak peek, so as of my posting, there are only 15 spots remaining!!
Class will begin 15 April 2025 and run for 8 months.
