A unique and meditative workshop where photography meets thread. In this hands-on session, participants will learn the art of photo embroidery — a contemporary technique that transforms printed photographs into textured, one-of-a-kind artworks using needle and thread.

You’ll explore:

• How to select and prepare a photo for embroidery

• Basic to intermediate stitching techniques

• Color theory and composition in thread

• Ways to add personal, emotional layers to imagery through textile art

No prior experience is needed, just bring your curiosity and creativity. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or simply looking for a mindful, slow-paced experience, this workshop offers a beautiful opportunity to slow down, express yourself, and create something truly meaningful.

All materials are provided. You’ll leave with your own embroidered photo and the skills to continue exploring this craft on your own.
