Stephanie Ackerman: Mixed & Stitched
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Lunch Included) 

$148

 

"When you leave perfection and hesitation at the door and come in with an open heart and mind to create something without measuring, planning, placing or coordinating, something amazing happens. You relax and enjoy the process…that is, until you poke your finger with a needle. 


I am excited to not only teach you to look at fabrics and felts a little differently, I am excited to sit and create right alongside you. Join me for an entire day of simple stitching, collaging felts and fabrics together, scrap swapping, lunch and finger poking at some point. The most difficult part of this new day long Mixed & Stitched Workshop is dividing the floss into strands and threading the dang needle, I promise." 

 

So, as you can see, our first visiting guest teacher has a sweet lineup filled with fabrics, felts, stitching, & stamping.  You will be amazed at the beauty you create in her valuable workshop.

 

More Notes from Andrea

Gather Your Tribe!

 

NEW FACEBOOK GROUP!  I have created a new group for you all to network and "gather your tribe"  I've named it "A Work of Heart Studio Tribe" and it has been created for the express purpose of giving you a place to meet up outside of class in the studio.  Want to arrange a special class but don't want to come alone?  Shoot a request out to the group and see who else might be interested.  Live a long way from the studio and want to carpool?  See who else lives along your route and share the drive!  Click here to join the group and get to chatting!
