Join us for a lively, hands-on needlepoint workshop using yarn (great stash buster!) as you stitch one of Chicago's icons as a keepsake. In this beginner-friendly class, you will

• Create your own finished needlepoint piece from start to finish while learning the essential foundations  
• How to read and follow a needlepoint chart
• Decorative stitches to add texture and personality
• How to finish a small piece neatly as a magnet
• Tools to design your own needlepoint designs at home 

In this class, you’ll receive all of the exclusive charts and tools to create all three iconic designs: a classic Chicago deep-dish pizza, a fully dressed Chicago-style hot dog, or “The Bean” (officially known as Cloud Gate). You’ll choose your favorite and stitch it from start to finish, transforming your finished piece into a magnet — the perfect small project to learn core techniques without feeling overwhelmed. You will leave with a finished Chicago-inspired magnet, new stitching confidence, and the tools to keep creating on your own.

Kit is required.
