Classes
Embellish with Embroidery and Felting
Multi-media is on trend; mixing fibers, textures and techniques in a single design is the current rage. We will embellish a tote bag using an assortment needle felting and hand embroidery tools. To produce something with personal character is very cool and rewarding, but better yet, you will leave class with a head full of ideas of how these techniques can extend to home decor and fashion supplies. -with instructor Eloise Wagers

Tunisian Crochet 101
Tunisian crochet is almost a hybrid of crochet and knitting but only requires one hook as you create fabric. One row worked onto the hook, the next row crochets them off for a texture unique to this technique. We will demonstrate the basic techniques as you practice using our Interchangeable Tunisian Crochet Hooks. -with instructor Sheila Rolfer

With this basic felting technique and the right tools you’ll have the skills to create most any project you wish. -with instructor Sheila Rolfer
