Jazz Up Your Creations with Surface Embellishment!, Half Day
Saturday, 11/13/2010 - 11/13/2010, 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Hand embroidery combined with a wide variety of fibers can take embellishment to a new dimension. Several basic stitches will be taught and then expanded upon by experimenting with a variety of threads, ribbons and yarns to completely change the look of the stitch. Hand painted fibers as well as solids and traditional as well as non-traditional fibers will be combined to help you draw out your creative talents in an easy, relaxing and portable project. This class will be taught as a sampler notebook. Each stitch will be demonstrated then you will be free to experiment with various fibers. This class will assume the stitcher is inexperienced, though depending on overall class experience 6 or more basic stitches will be demonstrated along with ideas and examples of how they could be used. Whether you are a quilter, garment constructor, ready-made adaptor or a thread artist this class is for you! Beginner level.
