Beginning Embroidery Workshop with artist Jodie Cord

Multi-talented craft artist Jodie Cord will teach us the intricacies of beginning embroidery. Embroidery is a simple inexpensive way to embellish and personalize clothing and accessories, make toys, art, and wall hangings. In this class you will learn all the basic stitches you need to get started: the back stitch, the split stitch, the french knot and the blanket stitch. It is a great craft for anybody able to use a sharp needle. All the necessary supplies will be provided. Each student will have the opportunity to make a stitch sampler an a small felt book.
* Please register for this event with the library.
