Materials for this program
By Heather Kerley

Learn to let go and embrace an intuitive, free-flowing approach to embroidery much like expressive abstract painting. In this class, you apply the principles of abstract art to embroidery with an emphasis on form, color, line, texture, pattern, composition, and process. Use different stitches to create interesting marks, textures, and movement in the work and explore a variety of materials, including found fabrics, beads, floss, and yarn. Take an entire project from beginning to end and learn how to finish the embroidery either in the hoop or stretched over a canvas for easy display. Some experience with embroidery or abstract art making is strongly suggested.
