CLASS FULL - Make Your Own Embroidered Patch workshop at Ragfinery
Event Information
Description
Make a one of a kind, hand embroidered patch. In this 2 hour workshop, you'll make a patch using one of the images created by local artist, Erin Eggenburg. Choose from a moth, mushroom, eye or flower (or bring your own image) to create a patch perfect for a bag or jacket.
Impact: These patches are made with leftover embroidery threads and are destined to mend or upcycle well-loved garments to prolong their life.
Participant and Materials Requirements: No previous embroidery experience necessary. All materials provided.
About the Instructor: Erin Eggenburg has been embroidering since 2011 and owns her own embroidery business, wrenbirdarts. She makes hand embroidered hankies, embroidery kits, and one-of-a-kind upcycled clothing and hoop art. Learn more at wrenbirdarts.com
