Event Information
About this event
Learn the art of embroidery by creating a unique self-portrait of yourself or someone dear to you. This class is perfect for a beginner or more experienced crafter and includes everything you need to create a hoop just like the one pictured.
Choose a range of colours for skin tones and hair colours, plus you will even stylise different hair styles with short hair, longer hair, hair up or down or even an afro.
The class is taught by textile designer Shikira (@kre8iveshack on instagram). Look her up on the Gram and you'll be sure to love the chilled vibe she brings to her creative classes as she shares her love for getting crafty and making beautiful things. She aims to create workshops which are inclusive spaces and often showcases designs inspired by hers and other minority cultures.
