Arts for Older Adults: Floral Embroidery

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to embroider fabric using simple, beginner-friendly stitches. We will cover how to transfer a design onto a cap, properly thread and secure your needle, and use the beginner stitches to create your custom design.

The class includes an embroidery starter kit, stitch sampler, and step-by-step guidance to create a beautiful floral embroidered piece of art.

No prior embroidery experience is required.

Arts for Older Adults is designed for adults aged 60 and older. Funding is provided by Tennessee Arts Commission.

About the instructor:

Melissa Hawkins is a lifelong crafter and self-taught artist who works across many mediums, including drawing, painting, knitting, crocheting, sewing, embroidery, and handmade jewelry. She believes the value of art lies in the act of making, not the final result.

She is constantly exploring new crafts and techniques, regardless of imperfection or how many unfinished projects she has piling up. Most pieces are made with the close supervision of her loving cat, Kiki, who faithfully keeps Melissa company and leaves her fur on every project.
