Hand Embroidery Club - Stitch Journal (Tuesdays)
In this hands-on club, you will engage with other members of the craft community while exploring and learning new embroidery techniques! Over the course of 9 months, you will create an embroidery journal documenting your process. This session runs on the 2nd Tuesday of the month.
In each session, students will be introduced to a new technique or style of stitching through a set project. However, students are invited to explore outside the boundaries of each project if they prefer to work that way. In the first class, students will be introduced to the journal project and discuss the techniques to be taught. Once everyone is set with their materials and supplies, we will jump right in!
For the remaining months, students will start each session with a show and tell on the project/technique learned in the previous session. This allows space for constructive and supportive critique and feedback.
