New Encounter
Distilled into the most basic of the art's techniques, this Pre-Phase New Encounter?was designed to be more
appealing and less intimidating for beginners of Japanese embroidery. Several "novel effects" not covered in our textbook will be taught for the design at Teachers Class 2005 this fall. Teachers, and later students, will be
able to choose motifs while stitching the design. In class, motifs will be divided among the teachers so they may try stitching different novel effects. The completed pieces with different novel effects will be introduced later
on the JEC website for new students to choose from.
Just as the two fans in the design meet, we hope this will become the stitcher's encounter with a new lifework, new friends, and a new self.
