Creative Aging Studio Course: Beginner Embroidery

Join teaching artist Johana Moscoso for this 2-week introductory course. Participants will discover the relaxing, meditative art of hand embroidery! In this welcoming class, you’ll learn basic stitches using colorful threads of various weights and textures to create an expressive, unique wall sampler. Enjoy warm social connection in a supportive, stress-free environment. We keep things approachable with easy-threading big-eye needles and creative, unconventional stitch techniques that bring your piece to life. No prior sewing experience needed—just bring your creativity!

This 2-week course meets on Tuesdays from 1:00pm-3:00pm at South Branch Library on 1.19 and 1.26. You must attend both sessions.
