Move beyond the basics and unlock your creative potential in this comprehensive embroidery class with instructor Jeanne Weymouth. We'll start by building your foundation by learning 10 core embroidery stitches and creating a custom stitch sampler.
Once you have the fundamentals down, we'll explore exciting ways to add texture and detail to your work. You'll learn to incorporate:
Dimensional appliqué
Reverse appliqué for intricate designs
Reusing beautiful stitched motifs from old textiles
Gel printing to add small, personal designs
With these new skills, you'll be guided through the process of designing and creating your own unique project, whether it's an embellished jacket, a one-of-a-kind wall hanging, a decorative bag, or a set of funky bookmarks. Get ready to transform everyday textiles into art!
We're excited to partner with The Annex, at The Opera House to bring you this class.

Instructor Biography:
I love fiber, texture, color, exploring new textile art techniques and teaching eager, creative students. With a degree in textiles and design, I have experimented with and taught quite a variety of fiber art techniques/skills over the years. Creative Stitching; Contemporary Piecing; Weaving; Coil Weaving; Dry Felting, Wet Felting; Easy Batik; and other surface embellishment and fiber manipulation are among the classes I have taught. I like to bring curiosity, encouragement, playful energy, fun acceptance and an atmosphere of positivity to each class I teach. I think that working with fibers is so exciting and I love sharing that excitement with every student.
