Description

The Victorians loved love and were passionate about Valentine’s day - popularizing floriography (known as known as 'the language of flowers') - in which symbolic meaning was assigned to all manner of botanicals. Join artist and maker Robert Mahar in learning about this 1800s pastime and then add color texture and charm to a chart of vintage floral illustrations selected for their love related attributes. Instruction will cover core embroidery basics, essential stitches and how to apply them to an original collage custom printed on a 18x27” panel of linen cotton canvas. The end result is a beautifully embroidered textile that can be displayed as a wall hanging or utilized as a tea towel. Instruction will set participants up for success so that they can begin their individual projects in class and complete them at home.
