What if your hands could tell stories your mind has forgotten?

Join us to explore the beautiful connection between memory and touch. Through reflection and the ancient craft of Kantha embroidery, we’ll transform personal objects and experiences into quilted narratives – creating something beautiful from the fragments of what we remember and feel.

Please bring an object or a memory that is of significance to you, and a notebook to make initial sketches. Other materials will be provided.
