Put down your phone, pick up a needle, and give yourself permission to slow down. In this embroidery class with Lauren Bleam of Awake Arts, you'll move at the pace of your hands — no rushing, no scrolling, just thread and intention.
You'll learn essential stitches alongside a few more intricate ones, building confidence stitch by stitch. All supplies are included — just bring yourself.
