Embroidery With The Merriweather Council

Using basic embroidery stitches and techniques, each participant will create their own personal, simplified mandala. Colors, imagery and composition are up to each artists’ own discretion. Without strict instruction, each piece will be representative of the artist who made it and their personality. It is considered somewhat therapeutic to work within a circle and mandalas have a long history of being a sort of self portrait of their maker at the time of making. http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/6/6/1/event_43914881.jpeg

When is it? We'll host demos hourly at 4:15, 5:15, 6:15, and 7:15 p.m. on Monday, August 15. (Clean up starts at 7:45 p.m.)

If you can't make it in-person, we will be hosting a live Online Lab (http://www.etsy.com/community/online-labs) at 3:30 p.m. ET of this very project.

What should I bring? All supplies and materials will be provided, though you are welcome to bring additional fabric, embroidery floss, and 4" or 5" embroidery hoops. (We'll have enough supplies for 1 hoop per person.)

Who is teaching? Tonight's visiting artist is the lovely Danielle Spurge, a.k.a. The Merriweather Council (http://www.merriweathercouncilblog.com/). Check out her shop on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/people/merriweathercouncil)!

Craft Night is a time to make things, learn new skills, and take a photo in our photo booth! Photos can be found after each event on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/etsylabs/) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/Etsy#%21/Etsy?sk=photos).
