The Finishing Touch: WIP Workshop
with Sue Spargo
Join us for a creative and inspiring five-day workshop with Sue. During this workshop, students are invited to bring their unfinished Sue Spargo projects and supplies to work on with Sue's guidance. This is the perfect opportunity to ask questions, refine techniques, and make progress (or finish!) on projects you've been wanting to complete.
In addition, participants will create a fun and functional Round Bottom Sashiko Bag, exploring beautiful stitching, thoughtful design, and Sue's signature approach to embellishment and creativity.
Spend five wonderful days immersed in the art of stitching, learning, sharing and enjoying time with Sue in a relaxed and encouraging environment!
