About this Event

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

Join local fiber artist Tyler of Tyler Makes Things for an immersive, hands-on workshop in the world of abstract fiber art. In this three-hour class, you’ll discover the versatility of punch needle, a traditional North American craft that grew out of 19th-century rug hooking, and learn how it can be used in fresh, contemporary ways.
You’ll experiment with yarn, fabric, beads, punch needles, and embroidery needles to create rich textures and patterns on indigo-dyed monk's cloth. Guided by Tyler, you’ll explore techniques that encourage play, intuition, and personal expression.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have designed a one-of-a-kind piece of art that reflects your own style and creative vision.

All materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring any sentimental fibers or beads you would like to incorporate into your design. You’ll leave with a finished artwork, new skills, and the confidence to continue creating at home.
