Fearless Finishing
|
Finishing techniques, although often considered an after-thought, in fact are one of the most critical components of a project. The finishing of an item is the difference between "hand-crafted" and "homemade". This class focuses on gaining experience in a variety of techniques to understand both their pros and cons and when to apply them. Techniques covered in class include seaming, picking up stitches, weaving in ends and blocking. |
