Class Cost: $50, pre-registration required
Limited financial aid slots offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Learn how to hand embroider your tote bag with vegetable designs perfect for summer farmers market trips. Join fiber artist and author Melissa Galbraith of MCreativeJ for a 2-hour hands on embroidery workshop. This class will help you get started with hand embroidery and cover beginner-friendly embroidery stitches like the long and short satin stitch, reverse chain stitch, stem stitch, and French knot. You'll be able to choose from a wide variety of thread colors and vegetable patterns to rework your tote bag. Attendees will need to bring their own tote bag to embroider for class.
Melissa Galbraith is the fiber artist behind MCreativeJ. She was born and raised in the desert of Washington state where her mother instilled a love of making things by hand at an early age. Melissa shares her love of nature through whimsical and modern hand embroidery kits, workshops, and her books: 3D Botanical Embroidery & Stumpwork, DIY Embroidered Shoes, and How to Embroider Texture and Pattern. Melissa enjoys seeing makers fall in love with the needle arts, especially that magical ah-ha moment of learning something new.
