Twenty-five years ago, Charlotte founded Wuthering Bites, a café on the Lakeshore in Mimico that focused on the arts and community. With a diverse background in teaching, research and advocacy, and a passion for writing and visual art, Charlotte is thrilled to now be working with Lakeshore Arts as they launch exciting new initiatives for our South Etobicoke neighbourhood. She is especially thrilled to have a unique opportunity to focus on engagement and programming for seniors.

This workshop series introduces the essential tools and techniques of hand embroidery, including line drawing, 3D florals, and fabric collage. We’ll begin with spontaneous stitching: stitching without a plan to learn our first stitches by exploring mark-making with thread. From there, we’ll play with colours, materials, and textures. Perfect for both beginners and experienced embroiderers, this series offers a chance to slow down, learn new skills, and be part of a community. Workshop participants can apply the techniques learned in this workshop to future embroidery projects, such as hoop art and fashion upcycling.
Open to Ages 14+. Priority is given to folks with lived experience of mental health and/or addiction issues. No experience is required for this course! All materials are provided.
Registration is required for this program. Please note there is a limit to the number of participants. Only selected participants will be contacted with a confirmation email.
