This workshop is all about learning to make a simple stitched map of a place that is special to you – WHERE YOU LIVE. To make this map, you will use simple hand & machine stitches combined with silk organza, opaque fabric, and a bit of paint. The goal is to create a small fiber art map that is light and 8” x 8” to 11” x 11”.

      Also covered, will be how to use the internet to find maps that will serve as your starting point. As we go along, you will see the potential of variations on the techniques I will teach you. This workshop may inspire you to make a collection of personal stitched maps. Really, the possibilities are almost endless. Upon completion, you should have a lovely little work of stitched art.

       Because this class will require students to have a map of their chosen favorite place on hand, some pre-planning and communication with each student will be required so that each person brings a map that can be used in this workshop.
