Cross-Stitch Critters with Adria

January 10, 2026 @ 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Adria Garrison | Multidisciplinary Artist & Educator

About the Class:
Choose your favorite critter from a selection of patterns and bring it to life with colorful thread! In this hands-on workshop, Adria will guide you through the process of reading a counted cross-stitch pattern and following it step-by-step to create your chosen design. Perfect for beginners or those wanting to refresh their skills, this class includes a take-home kit so you can continue stitching after the session.
