Embroidery is an art form that uses threads, needles and stitching to achieve texture, embellishment and ornamental decoration on fabric. It was invented as a way to patch, stitch and maintain the life of fabrics or clothing. However it evolved into an art that has been traced back to the 5^th to 3^rd century BC in China.

Embroidery is a relaxing, fun art form and is a very good way to put your favorite designs on your own clothing, making them specifically your own. Teens will learn back stitch, chain stitch, running stitch, daisy stitch as well as solid filling stitches and have a nice design to take home.

Registration is necessary:
