Sampler Surface Embroidery (detail) – courtesy of © Monika (CH))
Embroidery is a particularly diverse art form. The Master Needle Artisan class shows you everything that is involved. The mastery of many techniques and knowledge of the processing of various materials, as taught in this course, form the basis for your free artistic development. You don’t need a counting chart or an area-fill-by-numbers guide. Inspiration is the only spark! This can be a photo, a painting, a drawing or just our imagination. At the same time, our face-to-face Master Needle Artisan class is also an indulgence in the colors and structures of the diverse materials that our market has to offer today. And at the end you can say:
This is my work of art
Created from AZ with my hands
That's the best feeling in the world!
