About

This beginner-friendly workshop introduces embroidery through playful mark-making on fabric, inspired by Paul Klee’s idea that “a line is a dot that went for a walk,” highlighting how simple marks gain expression through movement and repetition. Participants will learn linear and scatter stitches and their variations to build textures, patterns, and imagery. Through repetition and layering of stitches, students will discover how small marks can create complex results. The skills learned can be applied to future projects such as hoop art, garment embellishment, and visible mending.

Ages 18+
