LOCATION: Mernda Village CAC Community Centre, 70 Mernda Village Drive, Mernda MEETING ROOM
DESCRIPTION: This is a part teaching – part participants working on own projects. The tutor will demonstrate to beginners how to start their work and what stitches to use. With the tapestry you can purchase a tapestry kit (from Kmart, Lincraft etc.) preferably with a stencilled design, needle and wool included in the kit. The cost is usually under $15. For the embroidery, a kit can also be purchased with a stencilled design, hoop, needle and threads included in the kit. Maybe do not get a counted cross-stitch kit as this is a more advanced project. Otherwise, participants can bring their own work to do in class and share their experience – or even purchase blank tapestry canvas or embroidery material, buy coloured wool for tapestry and coloured threads for embroidery and can attempt to design and draw their own pattern to complete.
Please contact the tutor on 0409 964 134 for further information
