$300.00

Monday, June 23 - Friday, June 27

9:00am-12:00pm

This class is designed for rising Juniors and Seniors in High School

This weeklong intensive will include stitching with embroidery as the primary medium to explore the elements of space, pattern, repetition, color, texture, and line. Rust dyeing of fabric will also be presented as an additional project for those interested in learning the art.

Robert Dorr is a state-juried member of the League of NH Craftsmen since 2011. He layers different types of fiber and stitches in his hand-embroidered jewelry. Bob has shown his work in the League of NH Craftsmen’s Gallery and Craftwear exhibits. He has donated pieces for auctions benefiting Intown Concord, the Kimball-Jenkins School of Art, and the League of NH Craftsmen.

Bob also demonstrates his techniques in some of the League shops, at the Craft Center, and Annual League Fair. His main focus is embroidery, specifically in a style called stumpwork. Stumpwork is a form of 3-dimensional embroidery that translates very well to brooches and pendants.
