Hand Embroidery Workshop

SCHEDULING - BOOKING

  • 2-hour Workshop - see SCHEDULING button for current dates.

    For adults, and mature teens age 15+.

  • Cost: $90 - 1 session, 2 hours.

    Foundation of hand embroidery: learn 4-6 most used stitches and make something to take home.

    • Materials and tools are provided.
      A $15 materials fee is included in the course price.

    • Bring a jacket, shirt, tote, or denim you want to transform.

    • Max 8 embroidery students in the class.

    • Class will run with 1 student.

    • If you use reading glasses - PLEASE BRING THEM!

  • An intimate 2-hour hand embroidery session where technique meets a little bit of personal style.

    You’ll get the sample fabric, the hoop, the floss, and learn a curated set of core stitches: we’ll focus on essential stitches you can actually use. Then work on a simple design of your choice. Bring an image you like, or choose from our studio options—we’ll trace, simplify if needed, and stitch it together.

    You will work on a stitch sample first, and then embroider a little zipper pouch or perhaps something you brought from home: a jacket, shirt, tote, a baby blanket, bib, or a onesie.

    A calm, creative session with plenty of personal guidance.

    Ideal for beginners, artists, sewists, and anyone craving a quiet creative escape.

Why Hand Embroidery?

It’s brain candy! Trains your eye, not just your hands.

Embroidery teaches proportion, rhythm, spacing, and restraint. You start seeing composition the way designers do. It’s discipline, not decoration.

01

You build patience without boredom. It’s slow by design.

Embroidery forces you to slow down just enough to sharpen focus, problem-solve, and commit to details—without the mind-numbing repetition of screens or scrolling. In a fast, disposable world, embroidery brings you back to intentional making. Quiet focus. Real presence.

02

It leaves a mark.

This isn’t mass-made or perfect. It’s personal, slightly imperfect, and unmistakably yours. Quietly rebellious. This object didn’t exist before, and now it does.

FaQ

  • Nope. Absolute beginners welcome. If you can hold a needle and sit still for five minutes, you’re qualified.

  • Yourself, curiosity, and yes—your reading glasses if you need them. Embroidery does not care about your ego or your eyesight.

  • A focused selection of foundational stitches (no stitch overload), how to transfer a design, and how to make your work look intentional.

  • Yes. Simple is best. If it’s too complex, we’ll edit.

  • If you don’t, during the session, you’ll be well on your way, with the skills (and confidence) to finish it at home without panic.

  • This particular workshop is geared toward teens and adults. Kids deserve their own space—and pace.
