Cross Stitch a Scandinavian Folk Art Animal

In this evening-long workshop, students will learn cross-stitch techniques with a folk-art twist! Dive into this traditional art form with Scandinavian enthusiast and artist Cami. After a short introduction to Scandinavian folk art history, students will choose from several fanciful designs: a fox, a reindeer, or a bird. Students will learn to read a cross-stitch chart and work alongside the instructor to create their own whimsical cross-stitch piece using sustainably sourced materials. Students will go home with a finished piece suitable for displaying and the skills to continue cross-stitch practice after class. No previous cross-stitch or sewing experience is necessary.
