Creative Embroidery at Ox Bow

THIS IS A 4-DAY WORKSHOP. In this hands-on workshop, students will learn foundational and contemporary hand-embroidery techniques to create their own stitched artwork. Explore a range of stitches, strategies for building texture and pattern, and simple design approaches that translate personal ideas into thread. Look at examples of contemporary embroidery artists and discuss how stitching can function as both a daily practice and a portable creative tool. Students will experiment with a variety of materials while developing a small embroidered piece to take home. All levels are welcome—no prior experience needed.

Plan to bring: any fabrics, thread, or small items you’d like to personalize with stitch. Embroidery materials will be provided.
