Join us for a two-day workshop that introduces the basics of embroidery to the beginning student and provides enhanced technical and conceptual direction to those more advanced. Students will experiment with hand embroidery and appliqu? using both traditional and non-traditional materials. Participants leave with a small sampler of these explorations, along with new inspiration to continue work on their own. This workshop is held in conjunction with the exhibition, Darrel Morris: The Large Works 1999–2008.
