Craft Day for Gaza: Basics of Embroidery with Noa from Queer Craft Club
Another one for NYC! This in-person workshop, on Saturday, July 12, will cover basic embroidery skills and teach a number of beginner stitches with all supplies provided. Participants will learn using a sampler in the shape of the Palestinian flag, which they will be able to frame in a hoop and take home. After the workshop, participants will have enough knowledge to continue to craft embroidery pieces on their own. The project will take most folks less than the allotted time - feel free to leave early, or work on other projects and hang out with us until the end!
All materials will be provided. This event will be indoors in a fully accessible building. KN95 or N95 masks are required and provided as well.
Noa Samson (they/them) @noa_noh is a NYC-based embroidery artist who has been hand-stitching for 7 years. Their specialty work includes thread painting and stop motion embroidery animation. They are the founder of @queercraftclub, a covid-conscious meetup group that has hosted over 70 events since 2021.
We suggest a donation of $40 as embroidery workshops can cost up to $100, and our instructor is providing all materials out of pocket! All funds raised from this workshop will benefit @thesameerproject whose critical work is an inspiration to us.
