Join artist Robert Mahar and Courtney Cerruti in transforming a quartet of vintage black and white photographs with haunting embroidery embellishments. Instruction will guide you through best practices for stitching on paper, including the transfer of imagery and patterns, and clever finishing techniques. The resulting pieces can be displayed as spooky seasonal decor or year round wall art for those whose tastes lean towards the charmingly macabre. This video originally appeared live on October 16, 2024.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Project PDF (below) - two copies printed on copy paper

What a fun class! It’s a quick project that you can make as simple or as detailed as you want, and it uses very few specialty tools.
