Upcycling & Embroidery on clothes

In the organizer's words:

Bring your own clothes and transform them with hand embroidery! First, you'll learn the basic embroidery techniques and then you'll apply them to your wardrobe (or create a unique gift for a loved one).

The workshop will be taught by Miriam - a hand embroidery artist and the founder of Slow Evenings(instagram.com/slow_evenings_embroidery/).
