In this one-session course, students will be introduced to ribbon embroidery, which is done with a variety of widths of silk ribbon (4mm, 7mm) in gorgeous colors. This technique is fairly easy and quick, and you get a lot of results for your efforts! You do not need previous experience to learn this type of embroidery, but some level of comfort with a needle in hand is helpful.
While learning how to handle the silk ribbon, we will tackle a variety of types of flowers, buds, and leaves. First we will try these out on a practice piece of linen, and then make a small floral motif on a piece of silk fabric. Beautiful!
The instructor will supply the ground fabric, silk ribbons, needles, and written instructions for an additional fee of $12.00 to be paid to the instructor at the beginning of class.
Students need to bring a 5" screw-type embroidery hoop and embroidery scissors. Appropriate for all skill levels, although some basic experience with using needle and thread is recommended.
