About This Event:
Our home textiles work hard for us—so why not give them a little love in return?
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore the art of embroidery as a way to extend the life of well-loved household textiles while adding a personal, artistic touch. Whether it’s a pillowcase with sentimental value or a hand towel waiting for its moment to shine, we’ll transform everyday fabrics into beautiful, hand-stitched works of art.
