In this class students will work from found images and/or drawings of their own to explore mark making with the needle. Through embroidery stitches from basic to advanced, we will learn, experiment and push the types of mark we can create with the simple tool of needle and thread. During class, basic stitches and embroidery techniques will be learned and layered to create a unique sampler for each student. This class will focus more on the characteristics of the mark and how one can artistically utilize and push the mark of the needle for their own artistic purposes. The sampler will be created in the style that is uniquely the interest of the student and their practice. A great class to learn embroidery techniques as well as how to apply them to one’s own artwork. Techniques discussed include basic embroidery stitches, thread count techniques, drawing techniques with thread and some advanced stitches will be introduced.
