We'll cover basic traditional stitches and experiment with some improvisational techniques. Materials and iced-tea will be provided. ($5 Materials fee included in the price of the class - you'll get to take your work-in-progress with you at the end of the class. Iced tea and good conversation are on the house.)

Chain stitch
Satin stitch
French knots
…and more!

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

Nora Renick Rinehart is a textile artist extraordinaire. Since getting her degree in fibers from the Maryland Institute College of Art, she's spent pretty much all of her time developing skills and learning how to pass them along. In the past six years she's sewn handbags, done freelance commissions, stitched costumes for musical theater, and screen printed a seriously ludicrous amount of t-shirts and tea towels. She is currently teaching all kinds of textiles classes at Lillstreet Art Center and putting together a selection of classes for Dabble that are fun & relaxed- from which students can leave with new skills and confidence!

    I had a great time sipping teas and hanging out with the ladies in my class and, of course, Nora. The back yard was lovely and the atmosphere was super chill. I was able to perfect some of my stitches and finally get a good hang of that french knot! Looking forward to seeing what else Nora dabbles in!

    Had a wonderful afternoon learning a ton of different stitches. I just feel like I learned so much. Great, laid-back teacher, very willing to help.

    Nora is awesome! She is super friendly and a great teacher. It was a very pleasant afternoon with iced tea and shortbread. Informal and relaxed.
