HAND SEWING: Embroidery Sampler

  • MAKEbhm 4000 3rd Avenue South Birmingham, AL, 35222 United States (map)

Saturdays October 19 - November 9, 10am - noon

Hand embroidery can be a form of active meditation. Though sewing skills are utilitarian in nature, this class will introduce you to stitches and techniques that will deepen your artistic craft within fiber art. Instructor Lillis Taylor will also curate a selection of her favorite tools, supplies, contemporary textile artists, and resources so that you can start to build your own reservoir of knowledge and inspiration. 

You will be guided in the steps needed to create a finished wall-hanging from your explorations. While the class will yield one wall hanging per participant, the primary goal of the instructor is that each individual hone embellishment skills within the community of the class. Though sewing is a personal endeavor, it can be a social one, weaving participants into a tight-knit community.
