About the Maker:

Meredith "Miri" Artyukhina is an artist, crafter, cat mom, and recovering paralegal living in NW. During the pandemic, she ditched her dream of sitting the LSAT for her dream of teaching beginners the art of embroidery. Out of this switch, Capital Stitch Co. was born, and she has never been happier.

About Maker-Led Workshops:

Maker-Led Workshops are a new initiative of the Heurich Urban Manufacturing Incubator. The workshops provide makers with a free in-person platform in the museum’s conservatory to test and develop a new revenue stream to support the growth and stability of their businesses.

Heurich Urban Manufacturing Incubator:

The Urban Manufacturing Incubator is rooted in the museum’s belief that house museums should be dynamic and relevant to our modern communities. The mission of the Incubator is to provide economic opportunities to our local small-scale manufacturing communities through: appropriate interventions in business life cycles, collective action, and social enterprises. The local small-scale manufacturing community in DC is composed of two groups: Artisan Makers + Craft Beverage Producers. These groups are directly related to Heurich history - the historic mansion was built and decorated by local craftspeople from 1892-1894 and the Chr. Heurich Brewing Co. (1872-1956) produced DC’s hometown beer brand for over 80 years.
