Sweary Embroidery Class

Service Description

Therapeutic Stitching Meets Uncensored Expression: Are headlines making your head swirl? Need a creative outlet for your existential ennui? Join us for an evening where lovely craftsmanship meets unfiltered self-expression. This isn't your grandmother's embroidery class (unless your grandmother had a gloriously colourful vocabulary). In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the art of embroidering beautifully profane phrases using elegant typography and classic stitching techniques. Transform your stress into something both visually stunning and emotionally satisfying. What You'll Learn: Back stitch - The perfect foundation for lettering your feelings with precision Lazy daisy - Add delicate floral touches to frame your not-so-delicate sentiments Colonial knot - Create textured accents that pop (just like your patience has) The Exclusive Collection: One of the most exciting aspects of our workshop is our curated collection of sassy sayings! Each participant will select their favourite design from our exclusive collection of hand-lettered templates. First to register, first to choose - giving you the perfect opportunity to claim the phrase that speaks to your soul! Each design is a unique work of art, ensuring your finished piece will be truly one-of-a-kind. Why You Should Join: Research shows that repetitive crafting activities like embroidery trigger a relaxation response similar to meditation. Add the cathartic release of stitching spicy words in pretty fonts, and you've got yourself the perfect stress-management technique for these dystopian times.
