Developing a stitch vocabulary may sound odd, but it means that you explore all the basic embroidery stitches and find which ones really work for you. For me, hand stitching, or what I call embroidery because it's so much more specific, is what I use to express myself. My description of the workshop is this:
"For those with an adventuresome spirit, but looking to work in a slower, more contemplative method, students will explore and develop their own “stitched mark” or one’s own personal stitch vocabulary. These basic stitches will be discussed, explored and used on their fabric to create rhythm, movement, and visual and physical texture to show how versatile each stitch can be in their personal work. This workshop will strive to have students look at stitching on fabric, not as decorative, but as an expression of themselves---pulling something new and different from inside themselves onto the cloth. Jennifer will have many samples of her own embroidered pieces, images of contemporary embroiderers’ work from around the world, and books on hand to illustrate art embroidery."
