Sign up for a 3-session workshop to learn the foundations of hand embroidery to create stylized flowers and plants. This class will meet on Mondays: April 1, 8, and 15 from 1:30-3:30pm.

Each week we will learn a few basic stitches and how to use them to create various leaves and blooms. We will use color and texture to bring them to life in a blossoming hand embroidered floral wreath you can take home with you- along with skills to last a lifetime.

pack of needles sizes 3-9
