WINTER IS COMING!

Join us to learn some historic hand embroidery with a fantasy twist!

After spending too much time drooling over the extraordinary embroidery work that the talented artist Michele Carragher created for the costumes on the TV show Game of Thrones, I have decided that I really needed to offer a class on 3-D embroidery. The class will feature my original design loosely inspired by the Game of Thrones aesthetic. Students will learn authentic, historic 17th century embroidery techniques (also known as Stumpwork) and will be taught to apply them to create a fantasy work of art that can then later be applied to clothing or a home decor item (framed art? wooden jewelry box? pillow? Book cover? Your choice!). The photos displayed show a portion of the actual design we will working in class.

No previous embroidery experience is needed, but an open attitude and patience is useful. These techniques will prove invaluable to any fashion designer, costumer, fiber artist, quilter, milliner, jewelry designer, or crafty dabbler!
