Let’s learn to stitch together!
We’ll be inspired by the colors and textures of seasonal plants and look at ways textile artists use natural elements to express feelings and capture memories.
Participants will learn two basic (and very useful!) embroidery stitches to embellish fabric pre-printed with natural plant and flower elements. This will be a time to have fun exploring creativity and natural forms in an open and supportive environment. Everyone will have the chance to frame their work in a wooden embroidery hoop to take home.
All skill levels are welcome and all tools /materials will be provided.
This is a drop off program, parents will drop off and pick up at the Gardens.
