Common Threads – Techniques

Common Threads is an opportunity to gather together and create every Thursday night. Our Techniques nights take place every second Thursday and focus on a specific techniques, skills or practices in needle craft, fibre art and sewing. Classes are led by Jennifer Triemstra-Johnston (who has taught costume, fashion and fibre art classes for over 20 years)or sometimes guest artists. Each session will introduce you to a different technique and you will have the opportunity to create a little project or sample to take home. Topics include millinery, sewing, embroidery, felting, beading and fabric surface design. A great way to pique your interest and introduce you to something new.
