Saturday, December 5th from 1:00-4:00pm

Turn a favorite photo into a one-of-a-kind keepsake—or a gift someone will treasure.

Some gifts are extra special because of the memories behind them. In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll transform a favorite photograph into a personalized piece of art using colorful thread, simple stitches, and your own creativity.

Whether you make it for yourself or create a meaningful, handmade gift for someone special, this is a chance to give a favorite memory a new life.

Never embroidered before? You're in the right place! We'll learn a few basic stitches, explore simple design ideas, and guide you through adding your own creative details to a photograph. No artistic experience or special skills are needed.

All materials and step-by-step instruction are provided. You'll submit your photograph ahead of time so it's ready for you when you arrive.

Come enjoy a couple of hours of creativity, connection, and a little holiday-season making. You'll leave with a personalized piece of artwork—and perhaps one very thoughtful gift ready to give.

After registering, please upload the photo you’d like to use here:
