Stitching a Chautauqua Memory
Week 3 | M, W, Th | Turner 106 | Ages 10 and up
Chautauqua leaves its mark on us. We will sit together and slow stitch/embroider a visual impression of time spent on the grounds with family and friends. For our marks we will use colored threads on fragments of vintage Chautauqua table linens, some dyed with avocado or onion skins.
Bring buttons or other add-ons, fabric scraps, and a thimble if you use one. Instructor will provide other materials including vintage fabrics, threads, add-ons, and needles. Students may also wish to bring paper and a pencil to take notes.
Materials fee of $15 due to instructor at start of class.
