This is One day stand alone workshop or…Day Three and beyond:(this can be a third or a one day workshop)-see Day one if you are only taking this one day…or if this is your third day…you will continue to explore…
On day three we will continue working with all of the techniques plus it gives students time for more demos on more resist techniques especially if you want to do more detailed stitching techniques that are not com- monly seen in one and two day classes.
Classes can be adjusted to meet the needs of the group.
