Collaboratory Public Workshop: Embroidery

FREE to the public
REGISTRATION REQUIRED

All workshops start at 1:00 pm and last around 90 minutes. These are all Level 1 workshops, so you do NOT need any prior experience with the topic.

Ever wonder how to embroider your initials onto cloth?  In this youth-led workshop, participants explore the intersection of textile art and modern technology using the Collaboratory’s embroidery machines.  In this workshop, you will learn how to use an embroidery machine and be introduced to open-source embroidery software such as Inkscape (and, if there is time, Inkstitch).  These software tools let you design your own embroidery patterns.  This workshop is expected to last 90 minutes but may run up to 2 hours.  Our goal for this workshop is for everyone to leave with something embroidered (your initials).

This session should last around 90-120 minutes
