Learn to execute a wondrous coral reef embroidery from concept design to finished product ready for display. Week 1 will focus on exploring design concepts, sketching out ideas, and transferring your final design sketch to your fabric. Then you will learn how to turn 5 needle weaving techniques into 8 different types of elements. Week 2 will focus on beaded embroidery techniques, where you will learn how to combine different bead types and techniques to create several types of anemones, corals, and background elements. In Week 3 we will go back to embroidery floss to learn how to continue fleshing out our design with 17 new techniques. Week 4 will have you adding your final embellishments and allow you to catch up on any techniques we couldn’t get to in Weeks 1-3. You will then learn 3 ways to turn your embroidery into a finished piece ready to display. Join us on this underwater adventure you won’t want to miss!
