By mastering a handful of stitches you can learn to create wonderful works of embroidery. Jennifer Smith will share work from modern embroidery artists who are creating amazing works using only a handful of stitches. The class will review the basics of embroidery, design styles, how to transfer a design to fabric, stitching with found objects, as well as incorporating paint and beads and, stitching on paper. Each class will include a study of a few modern embroidery artists for inspiration, detailed instructions on new stitches, and plenty of hands-on stitching time. A private Facebook page will allow students to share their work, ask questions, have easy access to the instructor between scheduled class days, and learn more about hand embroidery. All supplies will be provided, but students are encouraged to purchase their own embroidery scissors.
