Postcard Embroidery Workshop with Gutwrench Press!
November 3, 2019 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
$40About the Workshop
Come learn how to embellish and decorate a postcard!
In this 2 hour class we will learn a few embroidery basics, and apply them to vintage postcards. We will talk about ways to make your work last, how to mail it and how embroidery can jazz up a card. We will also talk about alternative materials. If we have time, we may even talk about a few other ways to alter a card. No experience is necessary! Open to anyone—from experienced embroidery nerds who want a new canvas to beginners who don’t know how to thread a needle!
Ticketing & Fees
All materials are provided. The fee for this class is $40.
