Instructor Robin French |
For students who have taken one of Robin's classes, this monthly class offers unique opportunities to expand your Temari expertise. A new project will be introduced each month. Each student must bring at
least one ball wrapped following the instructions learned in the introductory class, or let us know
in advance to have the teacher bring a wrapped ball for an additional fee. Registrations should be made at the shop (in person or by phone) at least 48 hours before class..... Class fee, as well as the fee for a wrapped ball, is payable to the teacher at the start of class. Except as noted, class fees do not include materials -- see the info sheet for your supplies list. The September class featured the 16 point chrysanthemum (Kiku) as perhaps the quintessential temari design. The October class used the basic "Kiku" stitch in a completely different way -- two stitching paths that overlap at the equator to form diamond shapes. The November class featured another pattern where the flower shapes are actually the negative space outlined by stitching. The December class featured a festive holiday design that offers the opportunity to use all kinds of pretty sparkles. The January class featured an interesting design created by a combination of wrapping and weaving techniques. The February class featured a traditional New Year design created using a combination of wrapped bands and layered spindles to represent bamboo. The March class features a design created in two layers, the first with wrapped bands and then a delicate layer of filigree stitching. See a picture of typical finished class pieces for the March class. See the info sheet for the March class. |
