Explore the art of embroidery at this month’s Hands-on Houston!

Add interesting shapes and textures to your artwork using yarn and beads, and leave with a finished hoop ready to hang in your home!
Note: Please allow 20 minutes to complete this activity. The event will take place indoors and is on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.
