The Autumn Pendant

In this beginner-friendly, in-person workshop, we’ll guide you through the mindful process of hand embroidery, creating a delicate autumn leaf design set into a wearable pendant. You’ll learn essential, simple stitches and subtle color-blending techniques to capture the rich, warm textures and vibrant tones of the fall season.

Throughout the afternoon, we will focus on micro-embroidery techniques tailored for jewelry. You’ll learn how to work with fine detail on a miniature scale and securely mount your finished fabric into a vintage-style pendant frame. By the end of the session, you’ll have a custom piece of wearable textile art that’s ready to wear out the door or gift to someone special.

This workshop is designed to be a relaxing, cozy escape from the bustle of the city. No previous embroidery experience is required - just a willingness to pause, learn, and create. Come on your own or bring a friend for a memorable afternoon of stitching and connection.

• Essential beginner stitches (such as satin stitch and backstitch) to build realistic leaf textures and contours.
