        "Treasure" - Workshop with Lynn Payette

'Treasure' by Lynn Payette

Join us for this day as we have fun with Lynn and her amazing ideas for embroidering.  The schedule for the day is as follows:

Location:  Duncaster Senior Residence in Bloomfield, CT
Schedule for Saturday:
               10 AM to Noon                  Class
               Noon to 1 PM                    Show and Tell and short meeting
               1 PM to 3:30 PM               Class

'Treasure', a pendant or pin, teaches the student unique techniques for working with different threads, sheer and metallic fabrics, nettings, handmade paper, and beads, as well as a fool-proof finishing method.

The student will finish 'Treasure' so that it can be used as either a pendant or pin.

Note:  Student will furnish their own neck chain, if desired.

The following is Lynn's welcome letter to class members:

  Welcome to the class "Treasure".  You will need to bring the following supplies to class:
 
Stretcher bars - 5" x 5" and tacks to mount the Congress Cloth
 
Assorted needles -- including: #22 chenille, #18 chenille, #22 tapestry, #8 or #7 crewel, and a beading needle
 
Invisible thread
 
Beeswax
 
Gluestick -- not the blue or purple type (be sure to check this, as blue or purple gluestick will stain the fabric, and become permanent.)
 
Scissors -- small, very sharp; and paper scissors (these should be small)
 
Tweezers
 
Pencil
 
A few small bags to separate the threads (if you wish)
 
A few common pins
 
A "C" clamp or other method of securing your working frame to the table
 
Additional lighting and magnification, if desired
 
A pillowcase or other means of covering your work for transport
 
Note:  If you would like to make "Treasure" into a pendant, please bring along the chain that you will be using, so that you are able to create the correct size loops for the chain to go through.
 
I look forward to meeting you and teaching you "Treasure".  I know that you will enjoy making it as much as I did.
