Riley Kleve
Kickstart a daily (or weekly) stitch journal in 2027! Spending a few minutes of the day stitching is a peaceful way of staying mindful – or a great excuse to stab something. Whatever the motivator, embroidery pro Riley Kleve will show students basic stitches that form the building blocks of improvisational embroidery. Participants will learn how to set up freeform designs can be added to day-by-day, along with systems that can help record data like the weather or your mood. No experience with embroidery necessary for this beginner-friendly class!
$25 materials fee, payable to the instructor at the start of class, includes all materials needed to create a 5” x 5” stitched fabric collage.
