Together, we’ll explore the creative freedom and mental relaxation that comes from practicing hand embroidery without a preset pattern or design. We’ll set up our projects and free our minds to relax and wander while our hands create meandering designs. No sketching is involved, no hand sewing experience is required, and best of all, there’s no way to do it wrong!
See one possible result in this video: https://youtu.be/Rq9wzSWZsSM There will be a brief demonstration of this technique, and help getting started (for those who desire it). You are always welcome to go your own way and stitch what you wish.
We’ll gather around the virtual table to hand sew together on a series of Tuesdays:
July 7, 14, 21, 28 ~ 2020
from 1:30 – 3:30 pm and also
from 6:30 – 8:30 pm
Show up once or every time – whatever suits you and your schedule.
This casual workshop takes place on Zoom. It is available live only and will not be recorded. A free Zoom account is required to participate. Click “Find Tickets” at the top of this event page to receive login instructions.
Each session is stand alone with no formal intent. There’s nothing to fall behind on if you miss a time or two.
Supply list:
~ a piece of clothing or fabric to sew on (woven non-stretchy fabric will be easier than stretchy knit)
~ an embroidery hoop (whatever size is comfortable for you)
~ a hand sewing needle
~ embroidery floss (in several colors, if you like)
~ snips or scissors
~ reading glasses (if you’ve reached that age)
~ needle threader (ditto)
(If you have a hand sewing project in progress and would just like some company, you’re welcome to work on that instead.)
Ages 17+. No hand sewing experience required.
Suggested donation: $1 – $5 per session
