In this fun, live class, we will use a variety of textiles (wool, cotton, silk, and poly-blend) hooked onto a burlap backing from a pattern of your own design. We can explore flowers, landscapes, animals, and domestic scenes as subjects and stitch them into our patterns with a range of textures and tones. In this workshop, local artist Alissa Ehrenkranz will cover the elements of design, an introduction to color theory, textile characteristics, and how to plan a design to hook. You will leave with your project started and a plan for finishing it.

This class will take place from 6 – 8 p.m. on October 28, in the Museum Classroom.
