Punch Needle Workshop

Try out the punch needle technique you've been hearing so much about! Kristin Oldach of KraeO will lead this new and innovative workshop. Punch needling is an art form that uses a hollow needle to create loops of thread on fabric, which results in a textured, tufted rug-like surface one side and an embroidery surface on the other. It is a fun, easy and quick way to create images on fabric to be used for all kinds of decoration. In this workshop, Kristin will start at the beginning and take you through the whole process, which will result in a finished piece. The workshop fee includes a frame pre-stretched with monk's cloth, various colors of rug wool, and an Amy Oxford punch needle. Scissors will be supplied for students to use during the workshop, so you won't need to bring anything with you. No previous experience is required for you to join us and complete your first punch needle project!
