If you are interested in fibers and color and pattern without using a sewing machine, punch needle is a great option for making anything from soft coasters to seat cushions, rugs and decorative wall pieces. We will work from our own sketches and inspirations to find color palettes and patterns best suited for our pieces, big and small. This class will explore the expression of the participants ideas while learning the basic skills of punch needle.

The process of creating small to medium pieces can be completed in any space that allows for the materials. Students will create at least two pieces during the course. $20 supply fee due first day of class.
