This class is for teens and adults. Join local artist Nikki Ray for the next session in our embroidery workshop series!

Unlike previous sessions, everyone will work on the same design, allowing for deeper instruction, focused skill building, and a collaborative learning experience.

This workshop introduces more advanced stitching techniques along with mixed-media elements, adding texture, dimension, and creative detail to your embroidery. Participants will build on foundational and intermediate skills while exploring new materials and approaches under Nikki’s guidance. Beginners are welcome, though this session is ideal for those who have attended earlier classes or have some embroidery experience.

All materials provided. Participants will leave with a cohesive piece in progress—and a richer set of embroidery skills to carry forward.

AGE GROUP: | Teens | Adults |
