Join Shannon Downey, aka Badass Cross Stitch for a mad fun intro to embroidery workshop. You will learn about all of the materials and how to use them, how to get set up, design and working with patterns, and backstitch to start. You will be a pro stitcher in under two hours. This is your chance to learn a new pandemic hobby, stab shit until you feel better, and connect with a community.

Shannon Downey better known as Badass Cross Stitch, is a community organizer disguised as a fiber artist and craftivist. She blends her politics, activism, and art into projects that are designed to inspire others to take action, think, discuss, engage with democracy and their community, and find some digital/analog balance. She currently lives in her RV full-time and is traversing the country bringing community and art activism to the country she still believes in.

She is the instigator behind #RitasQuilt #MakeDontBreak and @BadassHerstory and is on a quest to teach 1 million people to embroider and invite society to rethink how we categorize and value craft and art.
