Zen Embroidery: Exploring the Versatile Running Stitch

Exploring versatile running stitches!
Saturday, November 14, from 9am-12pm
Beginners welcome! Ages 10+years! The technique of decorating fabric with simple running stitches appears in many cultures around the world. Traditionally, this stitching served practical purposes: mending and reusing treasured textiles, gathering layers of fabric for warmth and insulation, and strengthening cloth for heavy use. Over time, the decorative potential of this timeless practice became equally valued, developing a rich visual “vocabulary” that allows for endless pattern variations.
In this class, you’ll use a calm, meditative approach to stitching to create an embroidered piece on hand‑dyed wool felt. Your finished work will be assembled into a beautiful eyeglass case, showcasing both the functional and artistic possibilities of this traditional technique.
This class is appropriate for ages 10+years.
All materials included.
We’re grateful for the generous support of the G.A. Foster Legacy Foundation, whose contribution allows us to offer this specialty mending class at a discounted rate.
• Military, first responders and sibling discounts
• Scholarships available
