Embroidery Workshop: Among the Cattails

Age: Adult (18+). No experience required, all levels welcome. 
Connect with the green spaces of Toronto through the art of embroidery. In this workshop, you'll learn a selection of embroidery stitches and use them to bring a cattail motif to life - a plant found growing along the nearby Humber River ravine. Guided through each step, you'll have time to work at your own pace and leave with a completed 4" hoop tapestry to take home. 

All materials provided. Participants take home their finished embroidered hoop and a printed handout of embroidery techniques.
