Whitney Dirks
Do you have opinions? Do you want to stitch your feelings? Does swearing in textiles appeal to you? Then this d*mn class may be for you! Focus on techniques for transferring fonts onto fabric and embroidery stitches that work well for following lines or filling in block capitals. While this class is NSFW (Not Safe For Work), it is appropriate for students who feel comfortable with basic hand sewing (like replacing buttons), counted cross stitch, or embroidery.
A $5 materials fee is due to the instructor at the start of class and covers all supplies needed for this class.
