In this workshop we will learn the basic techniques of surface embroidery and apply them to the ancient art of intention. Throughout history, art and specifically embroidery has been used for protection and/or manifestation with the use of symbolism and color. Even the stitches chosen can have meaning in the overall creation of a magical embroidery. Explore your creative talent within a safe and nurturing community where the joy and healing of needle arts will be embraced.
All levels of experience welcome.
