On Friday, you'll learn to finish any special shaped ornament (think beyond a round or rectangle). On Saturday, we'll tackle either an acrylic foot finish or a coaster\/tray insert. You’ll learn the acrylic foot pocket technique which hides the acrylic foot inside the finish and lines the interior for a seamless look on both front and the back. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'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 beautifully finished pieces 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. \u003cstrong\u003eWe recommend this class for people who have completed a basic needlepoint finishing class, but if a student has no previous finishing experience, we will have beginner options available.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note the acrylic product is not included.
