Intro to Embroidery 1M26
In this 6 week class, students will learn a variety of stitches and decorative embroidery techniques and be able to complete larger, more indepth projects. Participants will learn how to add images, textures, and dimension to a flat piece of fabric. Students will then create an artwork based on imagery that inspires them, or in the abstract, using these new embroidery techniques. Students will also learn to incorporate different mediums including small embroidered earrings and accessories!
Students will leave with their artwork and a portable stitch sampler, spanning from chain stitches, looped stitches, french knots, pistils, couching, satin stitch, cretan stitch, etc., that can be applied to future projects as well as several other finished accessories.
Students ages 13 and up welcome to register!
Make up: 6/16/26
