Blackwork with Tanja Berlin

Description

Tanja will  teach several of her different blackwork designs in the class so the student has a choice. She can teach up to four different designs in one class as they are taught similarly and she will break the class up into groups of design.  https://berlinembroidery.com/  

Kits are included in the registration fee. Students will be contacted to choose a kit.
