Hand Embroidery with Teresa Ruiz

Elevate your style by translating the precision of mixed-media art onto fabric. In this hands-on workshop series, we will upcycle clothing into wearable art using structural hand embroidery. Learn to design, map, and execute striking textile interventions on modern silhouettes, concluding with an exclusive tutorial on seamlessly integrating sequins for a contemporary, high-end shimmer. Bring a wardrobe piece to transform. No textile experience required—just a passion for elevated design!
