Slow down and learn to stitch in this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop exploring the art of hand embroidery. In this class, we'll gather to practice advanced beginner stitches, from the textural French knot to the loopy chain stitch and curvy stem stitch. You'll leave with a working knowledge of new techniques and a started sampler to take home.
Each participant will work on their own embroidery hoop throughout the class and leave with their project, hoop, a needle and thread kit, and a printed stitch reference guide to support your practice at home.
All materials are provided. Basic knowledge of the running, back, and satin stitches is recommended.
Workshop Fee: $40 (Tuition: $30 | Materials: $10)
