Artist Lead Crafting Open Session (4-5:30PM)

Discover the joy of hand embroidery while creating your own small floral design. We’ll learn a few basic stitches, including stem stitch, chain stitch, satin stitch, fishbone stitch, and French knots, and explore how they can be combined to create playful lines, shapes, and textures. Come ready to stitch, experiment, and leave with a little piece of embroidery of your own. No experience needed!

She is especially interested in using traditional hand-stitching techniques in contemporary ways, exploring how simple stitches, repetition, color, and texture can become a visual language. Hadis received her MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where she currently teaches.
