Course Description:

Come learn how to blend the mediums of hand embroidery, felt applique, and beadwork with fiber artist Becca Samelson. In this class, you will learn six stitches to get you started on your embroidery journey. The class will review materials, Becca’s technique for attaching fabric to your pattern, and tips & tricks learned over the years. You’ll practice your new stitching skills on a sampler before stitching your final piece.

For your final piece, you will be given a custom pattern with your astrological sign’s name and constellation, and you will have time to work on your chosen pattern with Becca’s assistance. Everyone will leave the class with a completed project or enough materials and instructions to be able to finish the kit at home. The skills you learn in this class will give you a strong foundation for not just hand embroidery, but for beautiful mixed media pieces as well.

This class is great for both beginners and those with some stitching experience!
