This is a virtual workshop that meets over Zoom. Join teaching artist, Richie Lopez, and learn how to design and hand embroider your clothing! Richie will go over tools, fabric choices, and teach you a number of essential stitches. You will have a chance to practice on fabric before starting a project on your own garment. Once you have the basics he will teach you how to design and transfer your design to a garment - no drawing experience is necessary (he will also have traceable designs to use). Finally, you will start stitching your design into your garment in the last class session.

This is a beginner workshop and there is no previous experience needed to participate. The workshop fee does not include materials. For this workshop you will need clothing that you'd like to stitch onto, a fabric swatch (for practice), a 4" and 6-8" embroidery hoop, thread, needles, a water erasable marker, snips/scissors, scrap paper and markers, Aleene's Stop Fraying and Sulky Fabri-Solvy. If you'd like to buy your materials through Wild Hand we will gladly ship them. If you're local you can stop by the shop or select Local Pick-up at check-out. Below is a list of workshop supply ideas from our shop.
