traditional weaving & embroidery
Since 2016, I've been teaching hand embroidery in groups and one-on-one classes. Some workshops focus on a specific design, like birds or plants, while others explore a range of stitches and techniques. We slow down, share the table, and stitch together in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
All workshops are available upon request, and are open to all levels. Get in touch anytime to schedule a session. Classes are in English or Spanish.
