Class Experience

Welcome to Beginner Introduction to Embroidery (FLEX) class! In this 4-week course, we will be opening our creative minds to the different stitches that can be done in embroidery. 

Each Monday, I will upload a new video project and supply list for students to work on at their own pace. Please be sure that all work is "handed" within 2 weeks after the last day of the course. Please, take your time to explore the work and embroider at your own pace.

  We do NOT meet in a live meeting. Instead, we will correspond through videos and messaging in the classroom throughout the week. We will work on 12 stitches all together. Each week will be broken down into 3 stitches for you to work on.  You may also choose to work on multiple or a single project throughout the class using the stitches learned each week. You will need to share this work with me as well via my Outschool email or classroom wall. 

I ask that students talk and discuss what they have been doing with their embroidery throughout the week via video messages and typed messages. This is a great way to talk to the teacher and ask for help but to also talk and collaborate with their peers. What's working? What's not working? How can we fix it? Did someone else experience this same problem? 

During the project video, I will be embroidering alongside you using a second camera as I explain each step, all the students must do is follow along and recreate their own stitches.

Hi there!
 My name is Tessa DeForge. I live in the beautiful state of Vermont with my husband, 2 silly dogs and 2 precocious cats. I graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2011 and hold a bachelor's in Art Education. 
I am very passionate about education. I have taught in a traditional setting for 10 years as a 6-12 art teacher and as an early educator. I love to teach a multitude of things through art and play. Some of the classes I offer are: Art Social Group, Crochet Club, 1;1 Knitting and Crochet classes, as well as social groups, to name a few. I am always looking to expand on my class list. The skies the limit when it comes to art and I hope to have some more exciting classes up and running in the very near future.
