  • February 14 | Harriet Riddell — Zoom Program and Demo: Travels Around the World with a Sewing Machine

    PenWAG Online Clubhouse

    An special extended online Zoom webinar featuring Harriett Riddell and including a live demo of her process.
    Harriet has traveled extensively, taking with her a sewing machine and a table strapped to her back as she bicycles through groups of people.  .  She will then select a subject of which she will create a portrait.  But this isn’t the usual charcoal sketching – the sketch is totally stitched on the sewing machine with no hard sketches preceding.  She also frequently “sketches” scenes along the way, such as a wedding, or fishing village, or an interesting local scene, all powered by a bicycle!
