Introduction to Contemporary Hand Embroidery

I start 2nd semester today and it is going to be a busy 4 months. Besides 4 classes and an independent study I will be teaching a 7 session course in Introduction to Contemporary Hand Embroidery at NBCCD in Fredericton. I promises that it will be a fun time with only a few rules that you will be allowed to break (maybe). First session will be on running stitches.

The original is hand dyed cotton with a variety of threads

These Kaleidoscopes are manipulations of a photo of the stitched sample. They are meant to be inspirations for future pieces.
