Join artist Dee Levang to learn everything you need to know to create a punch needle project. In this comprehensive 3-hour workshop, you will learn all the skills required to make a punch needle artwork from start to finish. Through the process of punching a "mug rug" coaster, you'll pick up a whole bunch of tips and tricks along the way. This class is suitable for total beginners, as well as those who have tried punch needle before but are looking for more in-depth guidance on technique. You'll come away from this class with a small art piece or coaster in a design of your choice -- and the knowledge to create future pieces of any size! Sign-up with a friend or come make some new friends. If you need accommodations for this program, please contact the Foundry as soon as you are able.
