This is an online, 3-session workshop for all skill levels.
Description: Add to your tool bag. Learn a new technique. Use up waxed linen scraps.
In this class we will cover your choice of a mini spray bottle (4 available) or the handle of a mini awl using a combination of lark’s head knots and half hitches. This technique produces a beautiful spiral pattern but can be manipulated to make almost any pattern. Project will not be finished in class but all techniques will be demonstrated and instructions will be provided.
