    Hailing from South Africa, Hazel Blomkamp is the author of 10 – going on 11 – books. She has designed, written about and taught embroidery and beadwork for more than thirty years and is best known for her less conventional approach to embroidery and Crewel embroidery, in particular.

    Featured in Hazel’s book, “Crewel Birds” (which you will need to bring to class), this project is stitched on a cotton linen blend using cotton threads and Miyuki glass beads. It uses many of Hazel’s signature techniques which have the potential to inspire intermediate to advanced stitchers in their own embroidery. The class includes a full kit and will cover all the stitches and techniques needed to complete the project.

    Student Provides: 6” hoop (for classwork), 17” x 17” stretcher bars or scroll frame to accommodate a similar visible stitching space (for the project, not required at the class), sharp scissors, notebook and pen or pencil, additional magnification, if required.

    Students will be provided with a link and password for 3 separate lessons online for a period of 3 months after the seminar.
