Class Details

In this workshop we will explore the process of making a sculptural moss embroidery. We will incorporate embroidery floss, beading, and real wood to create our own moss garden. We’ll take a walk in the woods to collect organic materials of leaves or wood to incorporate into our sewing. We will look at the different textures we can achieve in moss using different types of embroidery stitches, primarily french knots, bullion, and turkey tail. Lastly adding the finishing touches of beadwork. In the end participants will have a finished embroidered moss garden.

Ren LaDassor has been in the textile industry for almost 20 years where she has worked in the world of costumes on TV, Film, Broadway, and Regional Theaters. She has a degree in Costume Design from University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Now that she calls Madison home where she works as a graphic designer and designs costumes with Forward Theater at the Overture Center. She has a passion for the slow art of sewing, always has a hand sewing project going, and loves to share that with anyone who is interested.
