Upcycling Workshop x Armenian Embroidery

Upcycling Your Garms is an intimate embroidery workshop centred on slow, hands-on making.

Rooted in traditional Armenian embroidery, this session offers space to step away from constant consumption and reconnect with making something with intention. No pressure, no perfection – just learning, stitching, and thinking together.

Participants are invited to reflect on what it means to refuse, to unlearn, and to choose differently, while creating a personal piece to take home.

The workshop begins with an introduction to Armenian embroidery and its cultural context, followed by a guided stitching session. Using cross-stitch patterns inspired by Taraz and waste canvas, you’ll be able to stitch directly onto your own garments or fabric, working with symbols, words, or patterns that feel meaningful to you.

Please bring a garment, fabric, or item you’d like to upcycle and stitch onto.

All other materials will be provided.
