Punch Needle Miniature Rugs One-Day Workshop, with Cece Braun
Thursday, September 17: 9 A.M.–1 P.M.
Member $125; Nonmember $175

The art of punch-needle embroidery is an old form of needle art that has become “new” again. It is worked on weaver’s cloth in an embroidery hoop with floss and needle-like tool. Tiny loops of thread are formed, creating your design. The pattern designed for this class incorporates rug patterns used in early homes. The finished pieces are small and resemble tiny hooked rugs, appropriate for use in doll house settings. The technique is easy to learn and can be enjoyed by all ages.

All materials provided. Maximum class size: 8
