Master Craftsman: Counted Thread

$50.00

Our Master Craftsman: Counted Thread program challenges participants to be the best in a variety of counted techniques. Each step provides criteria for the creation of an original design or provided design in a specific technique: Cross-stitch, Assisi, black work, pulled thread, Hardanger and finishing. Submissions are judged on following the directions, source research and expertise in the technique.
