Fiber Art

Needlepoint Bookmarks

Needlepoint is a handheld fiber art using a variety of stitches and thread types to create a functional or decorative piece of art. From traditional belts and pillows to modern sculptural stand ups, needlepoint can be used in an endless variety of ways. In this class you’ll learn how to get started with foundational needlepoint stitches, understand selecting needlepoint fibers, learn about finishing possibilities and how to plan your projects for success. By the end of class you will have a partially stitched bookmark canvas, with all the skills and materials needed to complete it at home, including a self- finishing leather bookmark frame.
