Stitched Stories: Cross Stitch Photograph
Advertisement
October 21st | 6:30–8:00 PM
The Sheboygan Collective
What happens when a photograph becomes a canvas?
Join us for a creative evening that blends photography, embroidery, and a little bit of whimsy. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll transform a photograph into a one-of-a-kind piece of stitched art by layering colorful cross-stitch details over the image.
Bring a photograph that means something to you—a favorite place, a person you love, a moment you want to remember—or choose from a collection of photographs Whitney has taken over the years.
We’ll guide you through the basics of stitching onto a photograph, including how to plan your design, choose your colors, and add embroidery details without losing the story already captured in the image. You can follow one of our suggested designs or let your imagination take over.
The result is part photograph, part textile, and entirely your own.
What to Expect:
-An introduction to cross-stitching on photographs
-Guidance on choosing colors, placement, and stitch patterns
-A selection of Whitney’s photographs to choose from
-The opportunity to bring your own meaningful photograph
-Time to create a finished stitched photograph
What You Will Love:
-Giving a favorite photograph an unexpected new life
-Combining photography with the tactile beauty of embroidery
-Adding tiny details, color, and personality to an image
-Creating artwork with a story already built into it
-Learning a technique you can continue experimenting with at home
Materials Included & What to Bring:
Materials Provided: Printed photographs from Whitney’s collection, embroidery floss, needles, and all necessary materials.
What to Bring: You are welcome to bring your own 5x7 photograph to embellish. A high-contrast image with some open areas works especially well. We’ll also have plenty of Whitney’s photographs available if you’d rather choose one when you arrive.
No previous cross-stitch or embroidery experience is needed. All skill levels welcome.
Come stitch a little something unexpected into a memory.
Our Studio is located on the second level with stair access only
