PENNY TREE CLASS…

I had a lot of reaction to my announcement of a class – unfortunately I should have mentioned that this is an IN PERSON/IN STUDIO class 🙂 . I am so techno challenged I don’t do zoom classes.

The class information is below – I have one running on December 7 – it is full at 5 people; the other is December 6 and I have 2 openings left. If you live near the Kingston area and are interested in the class please email me. Again, so sorry that I got everyone so excited about it being a Zoom class!

PENNY TREE CLASS…

Thank you for your interest in my first in studio/in person class in a long time.  I have had a great response so have set the following 2 dates – Tuesday December 6 and Wednesday December 7.  The class will start at 11 and run till 3 with a half hour lunch break (please bring your lunch – I will have coffee, tea and water and treats). 

We will start by picking colours for your tree and then I will show you how I use freezer paper to cut out the multiple pennies you will need for your tree.  I will provide freezer paper and your class fee includes the wool for your tree.  Please bring along a good, sharp pair of long scissors for cutting out your pennies.

Next we will cover stacking and stitching with the blanket stitch and wagon wheel stitch using hand dyed merino yarns which cover the edges beautifully.  I will provide the yarn and appropriate needles.  

We will then talk about various ways of attaching them to your styrofoam cone – I personally prefer to pin them as the glue gun can suck in the pennies.  I will have pins and a glue gun for which ever method you prefer.  

We can then talk about various bases and toppers. 

The class fee is 75.00 plus HST and includes instruction, cone, wool, wool thread (one skein), pins, freezer paper and needles – all you need to bring along are your good scissors (I do have a few pairs but everyone probably has their own favourite pair of scissors).  Once I have confirmation of your attendance (and date) I will pick up the cones at Michaels – should you wish to buy your own cone please let me know by return email so that I don’t buy too many.  That would reduce the cost for you from 75.00 to 65.00 plus HST. 

Thank you for joining me for this fun project which will get you in that Christmas mood and give you a fun end product that will adorn your own home or make a wonderful gift.
