Class Description:
This is a COUNTED CROSS-STITCH workshop! This workshop is mostly for beginners, but those who are experienced and would like to learn more techniques can feel free to join as well!
In this class, students will learn the basics of cross-stitch. Students will learn to read patterns, to understand the color key, and how to start a cross stitch (pattern placement, thread needle, start thread, end thread, and much more)!
Cross-stitch is meant to be a very relaxing and accessible hobby, so don't worry about being the best or being intimidated by it! It's truly so much fun, and the community is very robust. Once you start, you'll become addicted! The goal is to get everyone interested in this hobby and discovering techniques (and even patterns) that work best for them.

At the end of this workshop, participants will have:
o Gained a new skill and interest in cross stitch
o Understood all the stitchy verbiage
o Built a community of stitchers alike
Students can expect to walk away with a finished (or not finished) piece depending on their stitching speed!
