Beginning Embroidery With Cirrus

Learn to liven up textile with embroidery, the ornamentation of cloth with thread. In the same way that every word is made of letters, every embroidered design is made up of individual stitches. The secret is knowing how to put them together. In this class students will learn the basic stitches needed to create their own designs, but even these simple stitches by themselves can be used to great effect!

All materials needed for this class will be provided.

Weds, February 5th, 6:30-8:30pm (Doors at 6:15, no admittance after 6:45)
@ The Depot Store: 4695 Telegraph Ave, Oakland, CA

Instructor Cirrus Wood is a self-taught artisan who enjoys coming up with and learning fun designs to make clothing more visually appealing and more durable. He runs his own mending and tailoring business 'Muzhik' - named for the Russian word for peasant, but a muzhik is also someone resourceful, someone who can be relied upon to come up with a creative fix.
