Description
Celebrate the season by creating a custom embroidered table runner for your Thanksgiving table! In this cozy, hands-on class, students will explore festive motifs, autumnal florals, and seasonal design inspiration. Tea and cookies will be served as we discuss vintage embroidery patterns, seasonal color palettes, and ideas for incorporating personal touches.
Students will create their own design or choose from provided templates, learn transfer techniques to bring their design from paper to fabric, and explore color stories that make their embroidery truly cohesive and eye-catching. By the end of class, each participant will have a beautiful, hand-embroidered table runner ready to showcase at their holiday gathering.

After studying textiles at the Rhode Island School of Design, Alyssa Brieanne started an embroidery and textile studio. All designs begin with a hand-drawn image or painting that is then translated into embroidery. Each piece is a unique color and material investigation, incorporating textures and embellishments. Her work is whimsical, colorful, and playful. She is inspired by folk art and vintage textiles.
