Time: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Cost (per person): $183 CAD

Join Kristen Gula, of Gulush Threads, as she dives into the world of modern floral embroidery and pattern making:

In the Intro to Modern Floral Embroidery workshop, learn the basics of hand embroidery, how to give it a modern twist, and then complete a modern floral embroidery piece - taking the designs provided (or using a design of your own*) and applying your own creativity to make it truly unique!

Attendees of the Modern Floral Embroidery workshop will:

  • Cover the basic of embroidery (materials, basic techniques)

  • Learn Kristen’s favorite (and most used) hand embroidery stitches

  • Learn Kristen’s tricks and hacks to making embroidery less frustrating and more fun

  • Learn how to transfer an embroidery pattern to fabric (both light & dark fabrics)

  • Start stitching one of the four unique modern floral designs provided

  • Learn Kristen’s preferred backing technique to finish the embroidery in a hoop (& the many ways you can display them outside of a hoop)!

Kits will be provided and will include everything needed to learn embroidery (and then stitch your own piece for display): 6” wooden embroidery hoop, embroidery needle, embroidery snips as well as your choice of embroidery thread and fabric. Kits will also come with a canvas drawstring bag to take your project and materials home!

*If you decide to bring your own design/pattern, make sure to have it printed out in black and white (preferably a black and white outline), so transferring the pattern is easier.
