Mandala Embroidery Class

**This is a 2 session class, August 22 & 29. Class is from 6pm - 7:30pm and then you are welcome to stay and work on your sampler until the studio closes at 8pm.**

Combine embroidery and mandalas in a new way to unwind and fit creativity into your daily life. Instead of waiting for the right time to work at a sewing machine, you can embroider just about anywhere you like. Mandalas, in particular, lend themselves beautifully to a variety of embroidery stitches and the fueling of inner creativity as you work with this symbolic art form.

This comprehensive class is perfect for the beginner looking to learn about fabric and thread selection, embroidery tools, transfer design methods, and a wide variety of basic stitches to complete your project.

Skill Level: All Levels

Supplies:

The following supplies will be provided:

- A variety of mandala designs suited for embroidery

- A sampler of needles

- 7 inch wooden hoop

- White fabric for front (White fabric has been chosen for this project for ease of visualization of stitches.)

- Students must bring 8-12 skeins of DMC floss in colors of their choosing. We suggest a minimum of 4-5 colors in the medium to dark value range. Light colors will not show up as well on the white fabric, but can add some variety to the overall composition.
