Power up your embroidery skills in a workshop hosted by Sarah Roberts! Bring your favorite video games to life and check out our new exhibition, Level Up: Pixels, Play & Progress!
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the basics of embroidery, how different forms of stitching and needlework became subversive, tips for creating a design to stitch, and how to make that design a reality.
