Ribbon Stitchery Class with Mary Shey

Feel the joy of creating as you learn to embroider with ribbon in this class taught by

Mary Shey who has been creating in this medium since childhood. Ribbon embroidery

is easier on the eyes and hands than embroidering with thread, and the result is a

lovely work of art with a three-dimensional quality. You will learn the different stitches

and work at your own pace to create a piece featuring pink flowers and a butterfly. This

type of embroidery was popular in the courts of Versailles, at the Forbidden City in

China and as an applique technique among Prairie and Great Lakes Native American tribes.

A fee of $24 is due to the instructor at the first class which includes everything needed and is suitable for beginners. Image of the project is displayed in the reception area. View examples of Mary’s work at https://msribbonstitchery.com/.
