Past Class – Suzani Bird Too
Traditional Suzani Embroidery in Uzbekistan has flourished again since the fall of the Soviet Union. Taking inspirations from a contemporary Suzani, this bird with flowers and leaves has been reinterpreted using crewel embroidery stiches.
This Suzani bird is designed to be a companion to last year's bird, You can either do the new design, a bird with attitude taken from a Suzani embroidery (is this where Dr Suess got his ideas from?) or the smaller Suzani Bird from 2024.
In this class you will learn a number of crewel stitches with Strand yarn.
The $30 design pack will include a printed linen/cotton panel of the design, a suggested stitch and color layout and a stitch dictionary.
At the end of the class you will be given detailed stitching instruction
A Strand wool pack containing the colours used will be available in class. Prices will be different depending which design you choose to do.

Hutt Art Class – Dahlia
Create a three-dimensional Dahlia flower with buds and leaves using the addictive art of needle weaving.
Mary will bring along samples where she has used this technique in her “Ruins from the Wardrobe” series. In this series, she takes garments that have personal meaning but are no longer wearable and embellish with their stories. Vegetation takes over the garment in the same way a building ruin is invaded.
The kit will include four flower shades of Strand yarn, green yarn and the background linen/cotton mix fabric. There will be a choice of both background and flower colours.
The materials cost includes linen and the Strand yarn.
