Art in the Park: Climate Connections and Crewel Embroidery
Join us for a morning workshop from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM as part of Art in the Park—a series of outdoor sessions that blend art-making, climate emotion dialogue, and nature connection. This workshop offers a supportive, welcoming space for youth to explore their feelings about the climate crisis through creative expression, storytelling, and community care.
This session focuses on crewel embroidery as a mindful, grounding practice. Embroidery invites us to slow down, notice the small details, and put care into each stitch. In this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop, participants will be invited to wander the park, observe the local plant life, and choose a plant—such as a dandelion, sumac tree, or goldenrod—that resonates with them.
We’ll provide a selection of fabrics, but participants are encouraged to bring their own fabric items to embroider, such as a tote bag, jacket, or scrap fabric.
Whether you’re brand new to embroidery or an experienced textile artist, this workshop is about more than technique—it’s about slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and making something meaningful.
