Intro to Embroidery Workshop with Jen Hewett

Saturday, March 21 | 2–5pm

Hudson Valley printmaker and textile artist Jen Hewett, a friend and client of ours, is joining us for a 3-hour Introduction to Embroidery workshop this spring. Jen rarely teaches, making this a special chance to learn from her in our beautiful Catskill shop!

Learn the basics of embroidery and start a small project. During a break, meet our cofounder Sergio Guadarrama and tour our 2nd-floor garment factory. Light snacks and drinks provided; mocktails available for purchase. Create samplers of foundational stitches—stem, split, chain, satin—and French knots, then begin a small project. Embroidery is a mindful, portable craft that can enhance garments, fiber art, or be used for mending.

Jen Hewett is a Hudson Valley–based printmaker, textile artist, surface designer, and author. Her work blends bold prints, 1970s maximalism, and vibrant colors with local landscapes. She designs fabrics and home collections for clients including Moda Fabrics, World Market, Anthropologie, Karina Dresses, and Brewster Home Fashions, and is the author of Print, Pattern, Sew and This Long Thread: Women of Color on Craft, Community and Connection.
