Attendees will learn how to apply tatreez and how to remove waste canvas from fabric. All materials will be provided to embroider onto pencil cases. By learning this method, you can open up endless possibilities for your creative tatreez work, from decorating clothing to embroidering on home textiles. — What is waste canvas?
