- Join me for a little on my design background, an introduction to Improvisational Stitching and the new workshop I will be doing!
An Improvisational Stitching Workshop:
Workshop Length: 5 Saturdays from 1pm - 4:30pm EDT
Dates: April 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th & May 1st
Cost: $500 payment can be made via Paypal, Venmo or Zelle using my name and email: ariane@arianezurcher.com (Be sure to email that you would like to reserve a space as there are limited spots available.)
We begin with a hand dyed piece of linen, loosely woven cotton or wool. I suggest starting with a piece that isn’t too large - say 14” x 16” or smaller. It can be a square or a rectangle. Choose a color that you love for the background. It can be any color, just make sure you LOVE it! If you want to piece a background together, you can also do that.
This is a “hands on” workshop, in other words, everyone will be working and creating during the workshop with me cheering you on. Using a wide variety of threads, and other materials, we will embellish with no preconceived ideas. I will hold your hand, encourage you to explore and try new things. Each week you will be given a challenge to expand and add to your piece. This is a dive-into-the-deep-end workshop. We will have a blast. All levels of stitchers are welcome. You will not be alone. I will be with you every step of the way.

After graduating from Parsons School of Design, I began my career in fashion design and freelanced both in New York City, as well as London. I designed hand knits for Elle Magazine and was the editor of the Hand Knit Page before hand knits fell out of fashion in the early 1990's and the page was discontinued. In 2008 I launched my jewelry design business, designing fine jewelry in 18 & 20 Kt Gold with gemstones that I hand select for each piece. Several awards and numerous write ups & interviews in all kinds of magazines and online zines, I rediscovered hand stitching and my life took another turn. I have been designing in some form since I sold my first felt embroidered xmas tree ornaments to a small shop in Northern California when I was 16 years old, and have never looked back. And while I've had detours along the way: had two children, worked at an advertising agency, got into acting in my early 20's, published some articles for various magazines and wrote for the Huffington Post for a few years, I have always come back to designing. It is my first love and remains so to this day.

This is the sort of stitching I do although our styles and stitches are very different. I love the freedom of this sort of stitching. The piink, green and blue piece is beautiful. Lots of inspiration. tfs.💞
Oh that’s wonderful! ❤️
What fun to see your fashion designs! Love them all! You are so inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Aw... thank you so much. ❤️

Thank you so much Marlene. I totally understand. Thank you for the lovely comment. I really appreciate it. ❤️
Wow. Amazing. Thanks
Thx so much Hui. ❤️
You are amazing very creative and very clever.x
Thank you so much! ❤️
I purchased some of Fabric on a Whim dyed fabric and "discovered" images in it to embroider. It was great fun. And, the second piece I used of the same fabric, had totally different images to find.
That's what I love about the hand dyed linen. It's just beautiful to work with.
This was fantastic to see! Your workshop sounds great! You sound so happy to do it!
Thx Linda. We are going to have fun!! ❤️
Are the classes available to do on our own? I work Saturdays but would love to learn this
No. These are zoom workshops with everyone working as I teach. I will be offering this workshop again, but probably as a five day Monday - Friday class at some point. If that changes I’ll post about it. ❤️
