Upcoming events.
Holiday Candle Making Workshop at the Charleston Museum - Dec 15
Join me at The Charleston Museum Sunday December 15th from 1-2:30pm for a relaxing Holiday Candle Making Workshop with vintage vessels. Learn how to make your very own candles from beginning to end. Participants will use festive vintage glasses, tea cups, and tins from the artist’s collection to make both environmentally conscious and uniquely stylish candles for this special time of year. You’ll go home with two candles mixed with your very own scent combinations using a variety of winter themed fragrance oils – think Christmas tree, gingerbread cookies, a crackling fire and more! Special decorations, including cinnamon, candy canes, holiday ribbons, etc. will be provided to adorn our candles. Come enjoy an afternoon making perfect gifts just in time for the holidays! Beginners are welcome in this workshop – no experience is required.

Punch Needle Ornament Workshop at the Charleston Museum - Dec 8
Join local me on Sunday December 8th from 1:00 – 3:30 pm at the Charleston Museum for a special Punch Needle Ornament Workshop. Taking inspiration across the street from the Joseph Manigault House, which will be decorated for the holidays, students will have the opportunity to take a self-guided tour of the house before the workshop (admission to the Joseph Manigault House is included with registration fee). Back at the museum you’ll take all that inspiration and create a punch needle ornament perfect for your tree this Christmas.
I will teach you everything you need to know about this traditional rug making technique while giving it a modern and playful twist. Participants will learn about the best supplies to get started, how to thread a punch needle, stretch a frame, draw a design to fabric, how to punch, as well as various techniques for finishing your ornament. Beginners are welcome – no experience is required however this is also a great class to build on if you have taken a previous punch needle class with me. We will be utilizing a smaller punch needle, smaller weight yarn, and smaller hoop than her previous classes so you’ll be gaining new tools for your tool box.
This class includes the below materials needed during the workshop and are yours to take home with you:
#14 Fine Oxford Punch Needle
Premium wool rug yarn (in various colors)
Wool Backing Fabric
Morgan Non-Slip Hoop
Metal Snips
Water Soluble Marker
A guide to get you started on your punch needle journey
