Join us for a two day finishing workshop at The Wool & The Floss.  On Friday, October 23rd, participants will be learning about finishing round and rectangle ornaments.  Then Saturday, October 24th, will focus on special shapes.  Both sessions are 2.5 hours.  

Details:

We’ll be using a no-glue lacing technique and only acid-free materials, ensuring your needlepoint can be enjoyed for years to come. You’ll leave the workshop with a beautifully finished ornament and the confidence and materials needed to try it again on your own – plus access to online videos and resources to help you continue your learning journey. No previous finishing experience is necessary.

Participants should bring:

- Round or Rectangle Class (Friday, October 23): A round, rectangle, or square canvas, blocked
- Special Size (Saturday, October 24th): A completed canvas, blocked with a photocopy of the canvas

Optional to bring:

- Bring desired backing fabric, measured 1 inch wider on all sides (6x6 for 4x4). Recommend a not stretchy material. Thin materials like quilter's cotton, velveteen, or silk work great. Materials kit includes black, white, red, and navy.

- Two skeins of DMC Floss or DMC Pearle (only if the attendee has a color preference, materials kit includes black, white, red, and navy floss)

- If the attendee doesn’t want to finish their own canvas, they can bring blank 18 mesh canvas.
