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
