In this 3-hour workshop, local fibre artist Sarah Moreau (aka Feminist Fibre) will walk you through the basics of punch needle embroidery, including best practices, troubleshooting, and finishing your piece, while creating your very own coaster.
A punch needle is a manual tool used for embroidery or rug making that creates a field of tightly packed loops of thread or yarn on a woven fabric substrate. With this small but mighty tool, you can make everything from rugs and wall hangings to coasters and pillows.
This class is suited for beginners or those who have tried punch needle on their own but are looking for more guidance or inspiration!
You'll walk away with one 5x5" coaster in the design of your choice (seasonal templates available) plus the knowledge and skills to create future pieces of any size!
