Scandinavian Folk Art Cross Stitch – Saturday, June 7, 2025

Learn cross-stitch techniques with a folk art twist. Join Scandinavian enthusiast and artist Cami Andersen to learn all you need to know to get started on this traditional art form. You will enjoy a short introduction to Scandinavian folk art and history, then choose from several fanciful designs: a fox, a reindeer, or a bird, and create a bespoke cross stitch piece. During this class, you will receive step-by-step instructions and go home with a finished piece that can be hung in your home. Students will learn how to read a cross-stitch chart to continue the craft on their own after the class. No previous cross stitch or sewing experience is necessary.

Your instructor will provide the following materials:

• One Embroidery Kit: includes embroidery thread, needle, aida fabric, embroidery hoop, color instructions, and 3 patterns. Washi tape, needle minder magnets, and ribbon/twine will also be provided for finishing.

The class will only make one pattern, but students are welcome to take the others home to finish if desired.

Students are asked to bring:

•     Glasses if needed for a smaller, detailed project
•     As your class is scheduled over a lunch hour, we highly recommend you bring a lunch or click here to learn about local eating opportunities in the area.
