Felt Folk Ornaments

5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Tuition: $28 Materials: $18

Join us for this all adult "Intro to Sewing" class focused on hand sewing! Once again NO PRIOR SEWING SKILLS REQUIRED!!

There's a long history of people hand making ornaments to decorate for the holidays. Handmade ornaments have a warmth and character that make them instantly at home in your family decor and traditions. Choose your own felt, patterns, and embellishments, and leave with something unique and festive! Instructors Isaac and DJ will teach you basic sewing and basic embroidery and everyone will leave with at least one completed felt folk art-style ornament. You will also help make part of a felt chain garland to decorate the Ely Folk School!

About your instructors: DJ Floyd was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. She moved to Ely in August 2024, but feels like she has been here for years. DJ loves to do a variety of crafts, including drawing, sewing if all sorts, card making, stuffed animal creations, and anything else her brain tells her she should try. Isaac Hall has been creative since childhood. He makes everything from quilts to candy, novels to historical costuming, and almost anything in between. He taught English lit in public school to teens, renaissance history to adults and teens (and a few kids),and can't imagine a world without creativity! He moved to Ely from Texas in late 2024 and hasn't looked back. He comes from a family of makers and crafters who encouraged him as a child to keep creating. He loves passing on that knowledge and enthusiasm to others. He is on FB and has a website https://www.themillqc.com/
