Type:Workshop
Location:Health Track
Teacher:Kathy Barrick-Dieter

 Please note that the Saturday, May 14th, Folk Art Box class presented by Kathy Barrick-DieterKim will be held at Health Track in Glen Ellyn starting at 9 AM. This is different than the previously published library location.

Create a wonderful, primitive sewing chest with traditional folk art motifs to hold your sewing treasures and a folky made-to-fit pincushion for inside.  The morning's class will include applying ball feet, painting the base coats and stencilling and hand-painting the designs on our boxes.  (The hand-painting part is very easy.  You'll be supplied with tiny paint brushes and will just make a few strokes!)  In the afternoon, we will design and make our pincushions from felted wool using blanket stitches and antique buttons.  Everyone is asked to bring an old shirt to protect their clothing while painting. Final price for the folk art box is $140.
