I'm excited to invite you to a workshop that combi I'm excited to invite you to a workshop that combines two things I love: photography and hand embroidery.
🪡✨📸
Using stunning Sonoma County images by photographer Emma Kruch custom printed on fabric (from Wineland, Chef Charlie Palmer's new book celebrating Wine Country 💛) I'll guide you through simple embroidery techniques to add color, texture, and unexpected details directly onto printed photographs.

Whether you've been stitching for years or are picking up a needle for the very first time, this workshop is designed to be welcoming, creative, and inspiring. Together, we'll explore how a few simple stitches can transform a beautiful photograph into a truly personal work of art.
I hope you'll join me for a morning of making, conversation, and creativity at Appellation Healdsburg.

A little golden hour gorgeousness at @sonomabotani A little golden hour gorgeousness at @sonomabotanicalgarden's Rose Garden. Early spring warmth has the plants showing off in a spectacular way. It's a lovely way to end a Friday, as I wait for participants in our Spring Equinox Sound Bath to finish a rejuvenating session. A friendly heads up, that this summer in June, July and August the Garden will be hosting outdoor sound baths in our beautiful grassy amphitheater. Sonomabg.org
