Embroidered Rusty Textile Collage
No classes are currently scheduled
Picture
Combine embroidery, weathered bits of metal and rusted fabric
​to create a one of a kind textile collage.
Learn 4 basic embroidery stitches (running, back, seed and the french knot) that will be used as decorative elements and also to attach a variety of items including metal washers, nails, stained cheesecloth, fabric strips, yarn and buttons to pre-rusted fabric. Let the shape, color and texture of these items as well as the pattern on the fabric help guide you in the freestyle composition of your collage. 
  • Each participant will receive a square of pre-rusted fabric, a bamboo embroidery hoop and three embroidery needles.
  • All supplies are included but feel free to bring any small lightweight rusty metal bits and/or embroidery thread you may want to add to your work.​
  • ​Instructions for making your own rusted fabric will be provided.
  • Find out what the “Slow Stitch” movement is all about.
  • Suitable for all levels, no previous embroidery experience is needed.
