Intro to Hand Embroidery

Led by Kathleen Walck, of Local Folk Creative Studio in Kutztown, this workshop will teach you the basics of embroidery as you create a 3” hoop art piece. Students will learn 3-5 basic stitches as well as how to complete the back of the hoop for a finished look. A variety of imagery, background fabrics, and thread colors are available to customize your work. No experience necessary, best for ages 12+.
