Class Description:
Learn all the basic stitches you need and discover freeform embroidery with threads and wool yarns. In the morning, we’ll try out different techniques and materials as we make a small sampler of stitches. In the afternoon, you’ll begin creating your own design, inspired by traditional styles, Flagstaff’s landscape, or your own ideas. You’ll transfer your design to fabric and start stitching in class. Come ready to experiment, have fun, and begin to develop your own personal embroidery style. You’ll leave with plenty of ideas to help you add unique stitching to more projects.
This class runs from 9am to 4pm, with a break for lunch. Bring a lunch, or plan to grab something downtown.
Students age 14+ are welcome to sign up for this class, and students age 12+ may attend with an adult who is also taking the class.
All students, please bring small, sharp scissors.
Optional to bring:
• Glasses or magnification if needed for detailed work
• Any threads or yarns you would like to try stitching with
• Any textiles you would like to add embroidery to
• Anything that inspires a design you want to stitch, such as photos or other images, a quote, etc.
There are two options for each part of the class: tuition and materials. You can choose to pay for the instructor’s time and expertise or barter with the instructor, and you can either pay for materials or provide your own.
