Do you love botanical designs? In this workshop, students will learn how to elevate a fabric from floral to fabulous! Students will bring their favorite botanical fabric and learn how to boho it up, encrusting it with layers of embroidery stitches, beads, and sequins that will inspire them to look at fabric in a whole new way. Students will leave with a one-of-a-kind piece of art in progress and the skills to create additional pieces back at home with their favorite prints!
