It is a 5 month, online class which began September 1, 2024, although it is strictly work at your own pace.  The kit includes full spools of threads in filament silks and real silver thread, in an authentic 17th century palette, as well as everything you need to make the Elizabethan Valentine, with the exception of a frame to work it in.  The options for a frame, as well as lacing your fabric and stitching with a frame will be fully covered in the course.
