Join us at Studio Hue 53 Saturday November 15 from 1:30–3:30 PM.Discover the expressive power of fabric as a medium for storytelling and design in this hands-on workshop led by Laura Marsh, a multidisciplinary artist known for her vibrant, text-based textile works. Participants will merge text and imagery to create bold, meaningful compositions within embroidery hoops. Through guided instruction, you’ll learn foundational hand-stitching techniques that balance precision with creative freedom—bringing your ideas to life through thread and texture.
Embroidery has served as a form of adornment, communication, and cultural expression for over 30,000 years—practiced across traditions in both the East and West. Today, it continues to thrive as a contemporary art form, bridging fashion, fine art, and personal narrative. This workshop invites you to tap into that lineage, using needle and thread as tools for self-expression and storytelling.
Participants will:
Learn essential hand-stitching techniques
Explore the relationship between text, image, and material
Develop a finished embroidered piece that conveys a personal or conceptual statement
