Amuletos Embroidery Workshop - October 22
Join Tatiana Castillo while she's visiting Chicago and hosting three unique workshops at Indigo & Violet Studio!
Meet Tatiana Castillo, Colombian textile artist, embroidery tutor, and author! We're thrilled to have her teaching at the studio while she's in Chicago! If this date doesn't line up make sure to check out her October 20th and 21st workshop dates.
The amulet is an element present in many cultures and refers to small objects that bring us good fortune and protection. Being embroidered with our hands, these will have the energy and DNA of each one of us woven into it.
In this workshop, students will learn to use different stitches and materials applied to wool fabric to create a meaningful and unique amulet piece. Wool fabric, two embroidery needles, a variety of different yarns and accessories to select from, and instruction handout will be included. Scroll down to see more samples of Tatiana's work and patterns!
