Punch Needle Trivet Workshop with Local Artist Daisy McCellan

Join local artist Daisy McClellan Sunday, Nov. 17, 1 to 3:30 p.m., at the Charleston Museum for a special punch needle trivet workshop. Taking inspiration across the street from the Joseph Manigault House, students will have the opportunity to take a self-guided tour of the house before the workshop (admission to the Joseph Manigault House is included with registration fee). Back at the museum you’ll take all that inspiration and create a punch needle trivet perfect for your holiday table.

McClellan will teach you everything you need to know about this traditional rug making technique while giving it a modern and playful twist. Participants will learn about the best supplies to get started, how to thread a punch needle, stretch a frame, draw your own design to fabric, how to punch, as well as how to finish your piece with a whip stitch making it reversible and functional. Your piece can serve as a trivet, pot holder, coaster and more. No experience required however this is also a great class to build on if you have taken a previous punch needle class with McClellan.

This class includes the below materials needed during the workshop and are yours to take home with you:

• #10 Regular Oxford Punch Needle*
• Premium wool rug yarn (in various colors)
• Monk’s Cloth Backing Fabric
• Morgan Non-Slip Hoop
• Metal Snips
• Water Soluble Marker
• A guide to get you started on your punch needle journey

Have you taken a punch needle with McClellan previously and do you already own a #10 regular oxford punch needle? If so you can take $15 off your ticket. Just remember to bring your punch needle with you. Please note it must be a #10 regular oxford punch needle and not any other size, type, or brand.

Reservations required. Registration fee includes instruction, all materials and admission to the Joseph Manigault House.

$110 for Museum Members | $140 for Non-members. $95 for a Museum Member bringing their own #10 oxford punch needle | $125 for a non-member bringing their own #10 oxford punch needle.
