In-person at The Wool & The Floss
June 19 & 20
19803 Mack Avenue | Grosse Pointe Woods, MI 48236
Join us for a two day finishing workshop at The Wool & The Floss. On Friday, June 19, participants will be learning about finishing round ornaments. Then Saturday, June 20, will focus on squares. Both sessions are 3 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 classes (Friday, June 19): A completed round canvas, blocked
- Rectangle/Square (Saturday, June 20): A completed canvas, blocked
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.
