Scrolling Around with Hand Stitch with Liz Kettle<Saturday, May 13, 2023
10:00 am-5:00 pm, 1 hour break for provided lunch
Let’s play with all sorts of hand stitches and bits of fabric while we create textile collage scrolls that are wound on vintage wood spools! Your scroll can be a color exploration, feature a theme such as nature, or showcase memories as you incorporate little bits from your life. This class is beginner friendly: you will learn a variety of simple hand stitches that create big impact! We will review basic collage layering techniques and composition. Your class kit — a $15 fee paid directly to the instructor the morning of class — includes a base kit of vintage spool and prepared base fabric as well as additional fabrics and use of WonderFil Specialty Threads.
Student Supply List
• Fabric: just about any fabric scraps will work. Bring a selection in colors you want to play with. (Do not bring more fabric scraps than what would fit in a gallon-sized food storage bag. We will only spend 30 minutes collaging fabrics, so less is better.
• Thread: colors to complement and contrast with your fabric colors. Bring an assortment of sizes in: Perle cotton, embroidery floss, sewing thread.
• Basic hand sewing kit:, small scissors, thimble, readers and needle threader if you use them, and anything you love to have on hand when hand stitching.
