Day one will provide the surface for further explorations to texturize, embellish and add dimension. Day two includes basic hand and machine embroidery that will turn your two- dimensional surface into an incredible three-dimensional surface.
There will also be an exchange of fabrics with other students, and you can choose from instructor provided materials.
