In this introduction to embroidery workshop students will begin their very own original custom sampler.

The 2 hour workshop is an excellent introduction to skills you can take home and be creative with.
We will learn the most basic skills of preparing the fabric, using the hoop, and threading the needle to finishing the project for final display. 5 traditional embroidery stitches will be taught: the split stitch, stem stitch, backstitch, satin stitch, and the ever-mysterious French knot. With the skills learned each student would be able to continue making beautiful pieces of art or simply embellish items of your own or gifts for the holidays. So bring your creativity and lets get stitching!
