Queer Craft - Embroidery workshop!

Beginners Hand embroidery Workshop

Learn embroidery with Queer Craft at Make Town, in Hackney, East London.

Learn and practise embroidery techniques - no experience needed! We will begin by learning 5 new embroidery stitches and make a sampler for you to reference and build upon!
We will then design a simple project and get started. We will have templates and inspiration for pronouns badges, pride inspired pieces, cactus, flowers, space stuff. But if you have an idea, bring it with you as a scribble or print out and we can get you going!
All materials and equipment provided for the class.
There's two options on booking - For an add on of £5, your embroidery hoop and needles are included for you take home to carry on your brand new hobby!
After the class, you're so welcome to come along to borrow a hoop, needle and practise your new fun hobby at the Queer Craft social at Make Town! Check dates, learn more and book here: https://make.town/product/queer-craft-monthly/

About Queer Craft

Queer Craft is a social for all LGBTQIA+ folk who love crafting in all its many forms! ✨

We have name and pronoun badges. At each venue we have exclusive use of the shop and studio space for our community. The shop will be closed to the public, and open for us if anyone needs any supplies! 🧶🪡🧵✂️🧷

There is tea/coffee making facilities at Make Town, and you can help yourself to water. The bringing of snacks is highly encouraged! Anything sticky or crumbly that may get on peoples work will be kept on the back bench by the kitchen - but it's a good reminder to move our bodies periodically!

We will welcome anyone who identifies under the broad queer and trans umbrellas and has an interest in all things craft, whether you're dabbling for the first time or a big time crafter! ✨
