Join me on Zoom via the Des Plaines Public Library for Craftivism 101 - Pride Edition

REGISTER HERE

Celebrate Pride month in this hands-on embroidery workshop led by craftivist Shannon Downey aka Badass Cross Stitch. Learn about craftivism history and its part in the LGBTQ rights movement, then try your hand at your own embroidery project.  

In the latter half of the presentation, Shannon will be teaching some embroidery basics. We will have supplies for the first 20 participants who register in person on the 4th floor of the library.  If our supplies are all taken, you can certainly just watch this part, but if you’d like to stitch along at home, these are the supplies you will need: 

• an embroidery hoop

• a piece of light colored cotton fabric (got a tea towel or old sheets around? Use those)

• a tapestry or embroidery needle

• scissors

• embroidery floss (in whatever colors you like)

• a water erasable marking pen, transfer pen, or friction pen
