Create Patterns with Thread

In this workshop, you will wrap thread around nails already placed in a wooden board. As the layers of thread build up, the pattern gradually begins to appear. Watching the design take shape is part of the fun of string art.

The instructor will explain each step and support you throughout the process, so no previous experience is required. Beginners are very welcome.

She later opened her own calligraphy classes and has taught students ranging from elementary school children to people in their eighties.
