“English Storybook Tales”
This class is offered through the Cabarrus Art Guild at Clearwater Arts Center on Kerr St. downtown Concord, NC. This tiny book tells a story of the views from the English Countryside, with hills of green, cottage gardens, Thatch roof houses and much more! It’s just like a fairy tale all stitched by hand in an enchanting little book! There will be many hand embroidery stitches to create the garden, and countryside. Let Susan guide you through this magical journey of creativity! In the class we will create one of the signature pages, but there will be instructions given to complete the fabric book. This first class will be a little country hillside & more as time allows. So bring a few trinkets, charms and old buttons to add to your story. And don’t forget your tiny scissors!
