This two-class series is geared toward beginners. Our first project will be to create a small sampler with 10 common embroidery stitches. Time permitting, we will begin work on a second project of your choice. Come and discover the enjoyment, creativity, and relaxation this ancient art form has to offer.

The River Falls Public Library wants to create fabric bags for the booth at Earthfest which is On April 20. Library staff person Alice Olson is in charge of this project. You can help in many ways.

Do you proudly patch, sensationally stitch, and wear your art on your sleeve?  Show off your threads at Art’s House Gallery in River Falls, Wisconsin.

Let’s kick off 2024 with a fresh approach to art! Art’s House Gallery and Gift Boutique is reimagining trash. Do you have an idea that brings new life to waste in unexpected, perhaps beautiful, ways? Do you find inspiration in cast-off materials, calling attention to more sustainable practice? Do you have items cluttering your studio, waiting for you to give them a new purpose? We want to hear from you!

Art’s House will be open from 12:00–4:00 for the Taste of River Falls on Sunday, October 1.
