What is this Zoom Class about? This course is a deep dive into hand embroidery techniques and their variations, exploring creative applications on surfaces. In this class, you will learn how to see the world through the lens of embroidery and learn the language of hand embroidery to create an astonishing world of texture enriched by stitches. From microscopic imagery to the patterns in bird feathers, you will learn how to analyze a pattern and translate it into stitches. While breaking down each technique and understanding the beautiful math behind the creation of each stitch, you will be inspired to play with color and discover the role and impact it has in hand embroidery. While learning to play with color, you will discover the significance of selecting the right materials and the unique effects that different textures can create in your work. Requirements: Materials & Kits You can either have a curated kit sent directly to you or provide your own materials. If you choose the second option, you will receive a detailed list of required items, including DMC embroidery mouline threads, fabric, an embroidery hoop, and a selection of needles. Who is eligible for this course? This course is designed for everyone, regardless of their starting point. Whether you are picking up a needle for the first time or looking to refine your existing skills, you are welcome here.
