Upcycling with Embroidery Workshop

Historic Savannah Foundation and the Davenport House Museum proudly present the Artisan Spotlight Series at Historic Kennedy Pharmacy, located at 323 East Broughton St. in Savannah. The Artisan Spotlight Series offers immersive, creative workshops and provides a dynamic platform for artists and artisans to share their creative processes with local residents and visitors.

This February, give new life to old textiles! Learn how stitching can transform everyday items into personal works of art in a creative upcycling workshop led by local artist Shaye Galligan of Savannah-based studio The Markers Guild. Ideal for beginners and experienced embroidery artists, this workshop will offer guided instruction in simple embroidery techniques that can be used to refresh, repair or embellish clothing and accessories. All embroidery materials will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring a favorite garment, tote bag or textile to work on with Shaye’s assistance.

No experience is necessary to participate in Historic Savannah Foundation’s Artisan Spotlight Series workshops. Space is limited, and advance registration is required. To register, please visit davenporthousemuseum.org/public-programs.
