NB Collage of Craft and Design-Introduction to Stitch -101

Tuesday I had the opportunity to introduce some of my favorite stitch and manipulation techniques to future Fiber Artist at the NB Collage of Craft and Design.
It was a very enjoyable day for me. Great to chat about fiber and to see what the next generation is up to. There was much to see but time was limited. I have to make plans to go back just to look.

I encouraged the students to design their own stitch lines from a little exercise I like and then it was on to a few techniques.



Everyone hard at work



I had supplied the materials of my hand painted synthetic felt and organza but some of them did bring in a collection from their own stash. Rachel had a nest of beautiful fibers that she had hand dyed and that I was nearly green with envy. Of course I had to take photos to see what results I could get from great colour and texture in the KK program.
