While the blog has been doing giveaways and robot reports, I announced two new online classes to start during this winter. The first is the Stuart Silk Purl Flower course - outlined today.This is a sweet little piece about the size of a postcard and it explores how to use silk wrapped purls to get a variety of texture in your work.
The course is 3-months long and costs $210 for USA students. During the three months, there will be extras such as the recording of the talk I gave at Winterthur on how these unique threads were made and the 17th century infrastructure around them. Additionally historic pictures of silk wrapped purl in pieces will be shown and discussed and a presentation about all the tips and tricks to using them effectively. There is also a small box of silk wrapped purls of other sizes for playing with.
The course starts on February 1st and is a great way to start the new year with a short and fun project and tons of learning! It is also a good introductory project into how I teach online for those who have been tempted before by larger and long offerings.
