Botanical Embroidery Workshop with Lauren Snyder

Join us for a Botanical Embroidery Workshop, where you will learn some of the basic stitches used in botanical embroidery in preparation to complete your own beautiful plant inspired embroidery piece. Embroidery can be a deeply meditative hobby that allows for intuitive flow, beauty in imperfection, and the stitching (pun intended) of art into the functionality of everyday life. All materials will be provided and all levels of experience are welcome! Students will receive a "Beginners" Embroidery Kit to take with them, so they can continue practicing their stitches and complete a couple simple projects at home. This class is a chance to shed your inhibitions and simply be present with this beautiful and functional art form.

Lauren (they/she) is a queer herbalist and botanical artisan who is passionate about bringing people and plants together through cultivation and creativity. The third generation of their family to live in the Ojai Valley, Lauren grew up with a deep connection to the land, plants, and ecosystems there. Throughout life, Lauren discovered that no matter what she did, all roads lead back to the plants. Whether it was in the garden, piled amongst a binder full of herbalism notes, woven into the threads of floral embroidery, or captured in the words of poetry; the plants were always there as guides, teachers, and healers. Lauren is the owner and founder of Thimble and Seed; a botanical boutique with an array of herbal creations that inspires others to find their own ways to explore the wisdom and whimsy of the plant world.
