Intro to Embroidery

In this embroidery class, students will learn foundational hand embroidery techniques and practice a variety of basic stitches using original patterns designed by the instructor. Participants will become familiar with tools and materials, including embroidery hoops, floss, needles, and fabric. Open to all skill levels, the class offers a relaxing, creative environment that fosters mindfulness and self-expression through fiber art. This event is for 12 and up.
