ZenBroidery
July 23 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm Central
Stitch, Relax, Create. In this fun, low-pressure workshop, you’ll learn simple embroidery stitches while creating a design that’s uniquely yours. No experience needed, just show up ready to slow down, try something new, and enjoy the process.
You’ll learn foundational stitches like running stitch, back stitch, stem stitch, split stitch, French knots, chain stitch, and lazy daisy — everything you need to get started and keep going at home. All materials are included, and while you may not finish your piece in class, you’ll leave with the skills (and supplies) to complete it at your own pace.
