Sketching with Thread: Introduction to Embroidery as a Medium

Celebrate the rich history and modern possibilities of embroidery with Natalya Konforti!
Across centuries and cultures, needle and thread have woven tales of resilience, activism, and artistic expression. In this session, we'll debunk embroidery stereotypes and explore its potential as a contemporary art form. Participants will be introduced to basic tools and techniques of the craft, practice entry-level stitches, and learn to translate a simple line drawing to an embroidery design.

Presented by Tashkeel in collaboration with Sikka Platform and Al Safa Art & Design Library
