Connect & Create: Meditative Stitching with Rebecca Kelly

This unique workshop with Teaching Artist Rebecca Kelly invites you to explore the world of embroidery as a means to calm the mind, and create beautiful, meaningful art. We’ll work with fabrics, thread and needle. Your fabric piece can be used later as an applique or patch on your well-worn jeans! No previous sewing experience necessary!

Space is limited to 20 participants. Please register in advance to help us plan for your visit and ensure we have enough materials for everyone!

A small selection of clothing items for mending and stitching will be available, courtesy of the Lehigh Swap Shop.
