Class Cost: $50, pre-registration required; all supplies included
Limited financial aid slots offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Let's stitch some winter greenery. Learn a new skill or brush up on an old one with local fiber artist Melissa Galbraith of MCreativeJ. We’ll cover embroidery basics like the satin stitch, back stitch, stem stitch, French knot, lazy daisy stitch while stitching winter plants in this hands-on, two-hour workshop. Each attendee will receive a workshop kit that includes an embroidery hoop, assorted full skeins of DMC embroidery thread, cotton fabric, winter botanical transfer designs, an embroidery needle, felt, a sawtooth hook, and printed instructions. Whether you're an embroidery newbie or a stitching pro, you're sure to learn new stitches, techniques, and tips!
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.
