March 10th, 17th, & 24th, Tuesdays 530-730pm

Handweavers Guild of Philadelphia

Hand embroidery and textiles have long been used to preserve the stories that are most important to us. In this class we will build on that legacy and create pieces that honor the revolutionary movements and individuals that inspire us. We will become active agents in preserving the history that reminds us of how people have always survived and fought back against repressive regimes.

During our time together we will learn basic embroidery stitches, how to design and choose stitches for your piece, and discuss how history can help inspire us today. You will leave with an embroidered piece of your own design, finished and ready to hang on the wall.

Bring your creativity, hope, and determination!

Level: Experienced and beginner stitchers welcome.
