Beginning Embroidery: Stitching on Printed Fabric

Instructor: Ari Tupelo Sandler

Day & Date: Wednesday, May 22

Time: 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Tuition: $65.00

Ages: Intergenerational (16 and up)

All levels are welcome. No experience required.

Students Please Bring:

• Note taking materials.
• (Optional) Some of your favorite printed fabric.
• (Optional) A snack and/or water bottle. Filtered water is available in the classroom.

We’ll use 4-inch hoops, embroidery floss in a myriad of colors, and a choice of printed fabrics from the instructor’s stash. If you’d rather bring your own non-stretchy fabric (quilting cottons are great!) with a pattern that fits within a 4-inch circle, you are welcome to do so! Projects can be finished as a piece of hangable art using the hoop as a frame, or removed if you’d like to sew them onto something else.

All materials are included with a $20 FEE PAYABLE TO THE INSTRUCTOR at the time of the workshop. *Payment by cash or check is required for materials fees.
