Applique Embroidery Collage on Monday, March 2
from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in the Mansion Library.
Instructor Olly Greer will teach students two basic stitches —
the back stitch and the French knot — then help them dive into the fiber world
of stretched cotton in a hoop with thread. A large inventory of patterned fabric
will be available to help learn the art of fabric collage through the modality of applique.
This course will also cover pattern clashing, color overload
as students are given the freedom to make their own mark through the mixing of fabrics.
