Foundations of Embroidery

Class fee: $300.00

Thinking about your stitching journey and where you might like it to lead you? Have you considered partaking of some classes to improve and deepen your understanding of embroidery and some of the possibilities available?

 

Participating in the Foundations classes can offer you some building blocks with which to take your understanding and techniques further along that journey.

 

The Embroiderers Guild is very excited to offer in 2024 the newly formatted Foundations Introduction to Embroidery classes.
