What to Expect

This standalone skill class combines demonstration and guided practice. The instructor will demonstrate how to keep lines clean and controlled while working with adhesive and various yarn weights. Participants will spend the session applying these methods to their own work, choosing from curated template designs or sketching an original concept. By the end of the class, you’ll leave with a finished 8x10 (or similar size) artwork ready to dry and display.
