Part 1 – Learning the Basics You will learn the tips and techniques of making a basic rope coil bowl on your sewing machine. We will be creating a plain rope coil bowl with a bead and tassel finish.

The class will run from 10:30 – 3:30. Please arrive at the class 15 minutes early for setup so that we can start on time. Feel free to bring a snack or lunch.
