About this Event

In this two-day class, March 12 & 19 , 6-9 pm, you’ll be provided expert instruction to start work on a full-color embroidery piece. If you’ve never threaded a needle, or are a beginner looking for a little guidance, we’ll go over how to use a hoop, select threads and fabrics, transfer a design to your fabric, use a variety of stitching techniques, and finish a hoop in a couple of different ways. A hoop and all needed tools and materials will be provided. Some homework is recommended, but not required, between sessions.

About the instructor: Dan Toomre is a textile artist from Redmond, Washington, who got his degree in Textiles and Fashion from Maine College of Art and Design. He's now pursuing his teaching degree, also from MECA&D. He creates functional pieces intended to be frequently used and loved, and delights in teaching others textile-related skills. Dan specializes in embroidery, mending, and quilting, and sews much of his own clothing. He believes that having the power to make and customize your own possessions is invaluable.
