Event Description

Discover your new favorite hands on hobby at the Dream Lab!

Join us at the Dream lab for a beginner embroidery workshop. We will learn the supplies needed for embroidery,  practice setting up an embroidery hoop, and learn four basic types of stiches: running, back, split and stem.

After practice, we will  apply our new skills to design and stitch on a tote bag to create custom art!
Participants will leave the event with their personal project, as well as an embroidery hoop and needles to continue growing their new skill at home.
