This class, suitable for total beginners and embroiderers with experience, will give you the confidence and skills to stitch unique, painterly portraits of animals.

Finally, you’ll learn how to use embroidery thread to “paint” beautiful, colorful, lifelike portraits.

Instructor Kendall Kulper will lead this one-day workshop, suitable for all skill levels, in how to turn your favorite drawing, recipe, piece of writing, or personal saying into an embroidery pattern you can stitch onto clothing.
