About this Event

Level 1: FOUNDATION

Surface Embroidery is a broad term that encompasses many styles and techniques of embroidery where the stitches are decoratively applied to embellish a ground fabric with needle and thread. This course will discuss techniques typically associated with surface embroidery. We will cover thread choice in relation to stitch types as each thread has unique qualities of twist, strength, feel, and look. A variety of thread types will be provided for practice and experimentation in class.

While studying some of the surface embroidery techniques, the course will cover:

  • Color choice
  • Thread choice
  • Stitch families
  • Shading
  • Project design and design balance
  • Fabric selection
  • History
  • Overall best practices

Surface embroidery is a very accessible technique; it does not require specialty fabric or costly threads, and provides endless opportunity for exploration and creativity.

The Surface Embroidery concentration builds a valuable stitch vocabulary, making it an excellent choice for beginners. A large stitch vocabulary is important because many of the surface embroidery stitches are found in other techniques and this knowledge will prepare students for study in future concentrations.

Prior to the course start date, each student will receive a pack of detailed course instructions, describing the course, required pre-work, class schedules, and an equipment list.
