Threads & Torn Paper: A Mixed Media Collage Workshop

Discover the beautiful conversation between paper and thread in this hands-on workshop designed for absolute beginners and experienced makers alike.

We'll start with the basics of collage — tearing, layering, and arranging papers to build a simple, expressive base design. From there, you'll bring your piece to life with hand embroidery, using thread to add line, texture, and detail on top of your paper foundation. Every stitch will be demonstrated step by step, so no prior embroidery experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to try something new with your hands.

By the end of the session, you'll leave with a finished, one-of-a-kind piece ready for matting and framing — perfect for your own wall or as a thoughtful handmade gift.

What you'll learn:

• Simple collage techniques for building a compelling base design
• How to select and layer papers for color, contrast, and texture
• A handful of foundational embroidery stitches (think: running stitch, backstitch, French knots, and a few decorative variations)
• Tips for combining paper and thread so they feel intentional, not accidental
• How to finish and prepare your piece for matting/display
