Stitch Over Tea: Beginner Cross-Stitch Workshop

Vent Over Tea is excited to welcome you to our new event series Stitch over Tea, a gathering where fiber arts and community care meet 🧵

Led by Vent Over Tea’s own Marissa, each session explores a different fiber arts practice, ranging from cross-stitching and crochet to sewing, offering a mindful space for conversation and connection.
This edition will focus on cross-stitch, with participants creating coffee and tea cup patterns that feel both playful and personal. Inspired by the comfort of conversation over a warm drink (Vent Over Tea 😉), the session draws on the familiar ritual of sitting together with tea or coffee in hand, where exchange and presence naturally unfold.

🪡 Each participant will receive a free cross stitch kit that includes the pattern, a hoop, cloth, thread, and an embroidery needle!

Come stitch, sip, and sit together in a beginner-friendly space open to all levels.
