Description: In this three hour workshop, we will explore how to create depth and texture using thread. Using a nature-inspired pattern, we will consider the natural movement of light and shadow to practice blending color, while improving our understanding of how to create movement and direction with our stitches. We will practice with a variety of stitch types to work up to the skills needed to walk away confident in thread painting.
When: Saturday, 7/25 2pm-5pm
Skills taught: Students will learn how to blend colors, exploring traditional stitches used in creative ways to add shading.
Skills needed: You should have a basic understanding of embroidery and experience with backstitch, split stitch, and satin stitch.
Supplies used: All supplies will be provided by CraftNation and will include fabric printed with the pattern, 6 inch embroidery hoop, needles, and embroidery thread.
What you’ll leave with: All students will leave with the start of an embroidery piece and enough materials and the skill to finish at home.
Meet your teacher: Erin has been sewing by hand and machine since they hit puberty. In 2016, Erin began embroidering portraits of nudes as a way to celebrate their friends. That quickly led to the creation of Nudie Stitches, and Erin has spent the last 10 years creating portraits for anyone who will pose. Their embroidered art has been featured in galleries and on album covers. Erin has embroidered clothes, hats, just about anything a need can get through. They also enjoy breaking sewing machine needles by bulldozing through quilting haphazardly.
All workshops at CraftNation are offered at a sliding scale. For guidance on which price you should pay, please see our Sliding Scale page.
